After two hours navigating the Services Australia website, made worse by the dial up speeds of the Parliamentary NBN connection, Berejiklian was able to submit her form for processing.

It later emerged that under ‘Employer Name’, Berijiklian accidentally entered ‘Daryl Maguire’ before deleting it and re-entering ‘Scott Morrison’.

It is anticipated that her application will be rejected due to her willing resignation from the job, meaning she will be referred to the Jobseeker Pathway instead.

Mike Baird, the leader of Australia's most populous state, New South Wales, has announced he is quitting politics.

At a tearful news conference, the premier said he would stand down after 10 years in public life.

"I said many times I didn't want to become a career politician," he said on Thursday. "Today, I am making good on that pledge."

Mr Baird was one of Australia's most popular politicians, but recent polls showed a drop in his approval rating.

He said his resignation would take effect immediately after a party meeting next week to elect a new leader.

Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian is considered his most likely successor.
