The husband of the former Premier Anna Bligh, Greg Withers, has resigned from his job in Queensland's public service but the LNP government has said he was not pressured to do so. Mr Withers tendered his resignation this morning and today will be his last day in the office. He was the Director of the Office of Climate Change and after the March 24 election Premier Campbell Newman ordered him to wind back green energy programs he had helped to create over the past four years.

I know I know.. its politically correct but when they are married to people in high positions I think we should all be made aware of that

if they have nothing to hide why not use their married name whilst in office.

His department was being wound up because it was a duplication of the Federal system.

At least his resignation saves a retrenchment package, and is an honourable thing to do.

I would rather congratulate him than attack him for his decision.
