Bligh Government adviser sacked for drink driving

22 April 2009

A senior staffer of newly-appointed Minister Karen Struthers was caught drink driving in a Government vehicle late last night and has been sacked.

Principal adviser Lee Norris was allegedly caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.14 percent - an almost identical reading to that which Ms Struthers recorded when she was caught over the limit while driving a government car in 2007.

Premier Anna Bligh this morning announced Mr Norris's employment had been terminated, however Ms Bligh denied there was a double standard given Ms Struthers faced no such consequence.

In 2007, Ms Struthers was caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.169 while driving a government vehicle.
