00:00 Earlier this week I received information about a complaint related to Jonathan Davis MLA.
00:07 These were extremely serious complaints.
00:09 I immediately referred a senior staff member to conduct an initial review of the information
00:15 and identify the necessary steps that we needed to take in response to this information.
00:22 I have suspended Jonathan Davis from his MLA duties effective immediately, effective in
00:29 the last few days and he will be stood down indefinitely at this point in time.
00:36 My office at this point has not seen any information or evidence of illegal activity.
00:41 Nonetheless we are aware of the serious nature of the allegations and we have referred the
00:46 information we do have to ACT Policing.
00:49 I won't be able to add any further information at this point and I won't be taking any questions
00:53 today.
00:54 Thanks very much.
00:55 Should Mr Davis resign?
01:00 Is that the Greens position that Mr Davis should resign?
