AustraliaYvette Berry, a senior member of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Labor Party and former Deputy Chief Minister, has resigned from her roles as Education Minister, Housing Minister, and Sports Minister following the release of an integrity commission report. The report found 'serious corrupt conduct' involving two senior public servants under her portfolio, though Berry herself was not directly implicated. Despite this, she stepped down due to the ministerial code of conduct requiring accountability for staff actions. Her departure creates uncertainty within the ACT Labor government, which holds a slim majority in the Legislative Assembly. Berry had been considered a potential successor to current Chief Minister Andrew Barr, but now faces political isolation after leaving cabinet. The party is expected to reorganize its leadership structure, raising questions about internal factional dynamics.
