Purcell announced he would resign from the Ministry on 4 July 2007, although he will continue as the Member for Bulimba. [ [http://abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/04/1970025.htm Purcell quits Qld Ministry] , Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 4 July 2007.] This came after he finally admitted to having assaulted two public servants in his office after previously claiming he merely gave them a "verbal bollocking... [he wouldn't] go around belting people. I would be more inclined to give someone a hug than anything else."
