"Today's sacking is an admission from the Prime Minister that she made the wrong call from the start," Acting Leader of the Opposition Wyatt Creech said today.

"The Prime Minister's judgement over the Dover Samuels affairs has been sorely questioned .

"It was acceptable for her to have a minister with this background doing the job for six months when she knew the secret - but now it isn't.

"All that has changed is that his personal life has been made public.

"She should have acted in January if she was so concerned about his credibility to deliver. Instead, she covered it up and hoped the story would go away.

"The Prime Minister only has herself to blame for the political mess she has got herself and her Minister into."
