Since first elected in 2003, this was at least the fourth time Ms Hay has faced pressure to step down from either a parliamentary or party role.
But the previous three times it happened, Ms Hay managed to bounce back.
In February 2008, Ms Hay was the Parliamentary Secretary for Health.
When her name cropped up in the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry into Wollongong City Council, Premier Morris Iemma asked her to stand down immediately.
At the time Ms Hay said she had done nothing wrong.
“I am ready to assist the commission further,” she said, “ but I have been advised they don’t expect to call me as a witness.”
Mr Iemma reappointed Ms Hay to her parliamentary secretary position several days later when ICAC commissioner Jerrold Cripps declared she was not a person of interest.
Six months later, she lost her position when new Premier Nathan Rees called on her to stand down after Kiama MP Matt Brown allegedly straddled her breasts during Budget night celebrations.
Both Ms Hay and Mr Brown have consistently denied the allegations.
Mr Rees dropped Ms Hay, saying he "wanted a fresh face”.
Two weeks later, Ms Hay was voted in as NSW Right Caucus convenor and would go on to play a part in Kristina Keneally’s ousting of Mr Rees.
In January 2010, Ms Keneally appointed Ms Hay as Parliamentary Secretary for State and Regional Development.
In July last year, after a discussion with Opposition Leader Luke Foley Ms Hay stood aside as Opposition Whip during an Australian Federal Police (AFP) investigation into electoral fraud allegations at her Wollongong office.
Ms Hay was reappointed to the the whip position on May 10 after being informed she was not a suspect in the investigations.
Less than two weeks later, Mr Foley called for Ms Hay to resign as whip after the AFP charged a staffer in her office.
She declined, insisting she had done nothing wrong.
However, after Mr Foley declared he would resign from the leadership if the caucus voted for Ms Hay, she said she would not contest the vote.
