A defence of the gap between Andrew Bayly's resignation and it being revealed to the public.  

The Port Waikato MP resigned from his ministerial portfolios after a staffer complained about him laying a hand on them last week.  

Bayly resigned on Friday, and it was then made public yesterday.  

Political commentator Brigitte Morton says giving him time to tell his family was a good move and reminds us that politicians are human too.  

She told Andrew Dickens the delay is no big deal.  

Morton says his portfolios weren't important ones like health or civil defence where an emergency is likely to arise.
