He’d make a good Mayor of Toronto!
News.com.au reports:
TREASURER Troy Buswell, 47, has suffered a mental health breakdown and has resigned from the WA Cabinet, effectively ending his political career.
Premier Colin Barnett yesterday faced an extraordinary press conference, revealing the Treasurer has suffered a “mental health’’ breakdown and had been admitted to hospital in Perth and then Sydney, where he remained for about 10 days.
This comes after he crashed his ministerial car drink driving. It’s amazing Buswell has survived this long:
January 2008: Mr Buswell admits to and apologises for an incident the previous year where he snapped the elastic bra strap of a Labor staffer.
April 2008: Mr Buswell admits he sniffed the chair of a Liberal staffer in 2005.
August 2008: Mr Buswell resigns as Liberal leader.
February 2011: Mr Buswell, as transport minister, admits to clocking up nine speeding fines in three years.
December 2012: Mr Buswell is accused by Adele Carles of alleged inappropriate behaviour at a Christmas party the year before. Mr Buswell sues Ms Carles over the allegations but the case is later dealt with via an out-of-court settlement.
March 2014: Mr Buswell takes immediate personal leave for “health related” reasons. Reports then emerge Buswell was involved in a late-night car crash the night before he took leave.
With that track record, maybe he should move to Canada and try and stand to be Mayor of Toronto!
