Liberal MP Don Harwin has quit as a NSW government minister and will call time on his political career at the next election, ahead of a widely tipped cabinet reshuffle this weekend by Premier Dominic Perrottet.
“I have now decided I will not re-contest my seat and therefore, this is the right time to end my ministerial service.Mr Harwin said it had been “a great honour to serve in the diverse portfolios of Energy and Utilities, Resources, Public Service and Employee Relations, Aboriginal Affairs, Heritage and as Special Minister for State since January 2017”.
Local Government Minister Shelley Hancock also resigned from the state cabinet on Saturday afternoon, citing the departure of former premier Gladys Berejiklian in October as “a significant challenge for me”.
