Moves are afoot to expel the MP for Kiama, Gareth Ward, from the New South Wales parliament after he was convicted of serious sexual offences involving two young men.

State parliament sits next week and Ward has not yet said whether he intends to appeal Friday’s convictions. The MP has also not indicated whether he might resign from parliament and did not respond to questions from Guardian Australia.
