Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection, Lynda Tabuya, has been removed of her position as one of the People's Alliance Deputy party leaders.

This decision came after the party's executive council, at its meeting yesterday, thoroughly discussed and considered the recommendation of the People’s Management Committee regarding the sex and drug scandal involving Ms Tabuya during an official trip to the Parliament of Victoria in Melbourne last year.

Party General Secretary, Usaia Waqatairewa said, that the People’s Executive Council particularly weighed the severe and likely irreparable damage and disrepute that the scandal and its surrounding allegations had brought to the Party’s image and reputation.
