NSW Labor MP David Campbell has resigned as the state's Minister for Transport and Roads.

Seven News reported he was using his ministerial car to visit a sex club.

"I have resigned as minister for Transport and Roads for personal reasons, not for any reasons relating to my ministerial duties,'' he said in a statement today.

"I apologise to my wife, family, colleagues, staff and the community for letting them down.

"This will be a very difficult time for my family and friends and I ask for their privacy to be respected."

"I am incredibly proud of my achievements while serving as minister for Transport, Roads, Police, Small Business, the Illawarra, Regional Development and Water Utilities," Mr Campbell said in the brief statement.
Certainly wasn't expecting this! But it seems as though it's a difficult time for David Campbell, and his family, so this seems like the correct course of action.

For those interested who haven't already heard but he was seen at Kens of Kensington...

For those who still don't understand it is a gay sex club
