New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian is this morning facing a parliamentary vote of no confidence in her government. It follows her bombshell appearance yesterday before the state's corruption watchdog, where she admitted to having a "close personal" relationship with a disgraced former MP. The premier says she has "stuffed up" in her personal life, but has done nothing wrong.

Victoria's Opposition Coalition says it will move a parliamentary motion of no confidence in Premier Daniel Andrews, following new revelations about the state's bungled hotel quaratine program. The Premier's top bureaucrat — Chris Eccles — resigned yesterday after he changed his evidence to an inquiry into the troubled scheme. The program has already cost the Health Minister her job, and questions remain about who made the call to use private security guards in quarantine hotels; a decision blamed for the state's deadly second wave of coronavirus.

今天上午，澳大利亚新南威尔士州州长格拉迪斯·贝瑞吉克莲将面临议会对其政府的不信任投票。她昨天突然出席新南威尔士州腐败监察机构的听证会，承认与一位声名狼藉的前议员有着“亲密的私人”关系。州长表示，她“隐瞒”了自已的个人生活情况，但她没有做错任何事。

维多利亚州反对党联盟表示，他们将在议会提出对州长丹尼尔·安德鲁斯的不信任动议，此前该州失败的酒店检疫计划再遭曝光。维州州长的高级官僚克里斯·埃克尔斯昨天辞职，他更改了此前就这一麻烦重重的检疫计划接受调查时提供的证据。这项计划已经让卫生部长失去了工作，而到底是谁决定在隔离酒店使用私人保安仍存在疑问；这一决定被认为是该州致命的第二波冠状病毒疫情的罪魁祸首。
