| The NSW Greens have called for a review of alcohol policy for MPs on parliamentary sitting nights after Finance Minister Greg Pearce was threatened with the sack over his drinking.
Mr Pearce was granted a pair by Labor for feeling unwell during the sitting early on Thursday and was sent home.
The minister had to be assisted off the floor of the house during debate on victims compensation legislation because he was allegedly too drunk to continue.
Mr Pearce has denied being drunk, saying he only consumed between two and three drinks at a Liberal Party branch fundraiser at Parliament House.
Mr O'Farrell, who is on a trip to Asia, issued a statement saying he had spoken to Mr Pearce by phone and told him such behaviour would not be tolerated.
