Ross Cameron as Sky News viewers know him.

FORMER federal Liberal MP Ross Cameron has been suspended from the NSW Liberal Party at a state executive meeting tonight.

The former federal Parramatta MP suspension is in relation to his public criticism of now-Premier Gladys Berejiklian and other party figures.

Sources said he gave a lengthy address to the Liberal Party state executive on Friday night defending himself but was ultimately suspended for four years and six months.

Multiple Liberal sources confirmed Mr Cameron turned up to the meeting in shorts and a pink polo shirt, saying he said he had arrived from playing golf.

Mr Cameron would only say that he would comment on the matter on Sunday’s Outsiders program on Sky News when last night contacted by The Daily Telegraph.

Mr Cameron’s also recently came under fire for controversial comments he made during an anti-Islam Q Society fundraising dinner at the start of February.

At the controversial event, Mr Cameron reportedly referred to the Sydney Morning Herald as the “Sydney Morning Homosexual” and said the NSW division of the Liberal Party was “basically a gay club”.

“I don’t mind that most of our parliamentary class is gay,” he reportedly said.

“I just wish, like Hadrian, they’d build a damn wall. That would be my preference.”

Mr Cameron later defended his comments as not being anti-gay.
