Exclusive: The newly elected Labor government has sacked its most senior transport official just hours after it announced a whole-scale review of the Sydney metro network
The newly elected Labor government has sacked its most senior transport official, Rob Sharp, just hours after it announced a whole-scale review of a Sydney metro network that Premier Chris Minns said needed “rescuing”.
“If changes to the machinery of government are needed in terms of auditing and in terms of oversight, in terms of delivery, then I’m open to that,” he said. Sharp’s departure comes after two tumultuous years at the helm of one of the state’s most vexed departments.
