SA: Parliamentary speaker Peter Lewis to resign = 2

Last week, WENDY UTTING, a volunteer worker in the speaker's office named the MP at
the centre of the allegations.

Ms UTTING also named senior police and members of the judiciary as sex offenders --
prompting the state government to threaten proceeding for criminal defamation.

Mr LEWIS announced his decision to resign only moments before the Labor government
was to introduce a motion of no confidence in him.

He is likely to be replaced by independent MP and deputy speaker BOB SUCH.
