Vaucluse Liberal MP Gabrielle Upton to quit politics ahead of next election | Rabe9
NSW Liberal MP Gabrielle Upton, the state’s first female attorney-general, has announced she will quit politics at next year’s election.
“As the state’s first female attorney-general I am thankful to have led reforms to support child victims in child sexual assault proceedings and as environment minister to have introduced the Return and Earn container deposit litter reduction scheme,” she said. The strongest support for the Liberals in the federal contest appeared to come from the northern section of the electorate, where the state seat of Vaucluse sits.I have made the exceptionally difficult decision not to recontest the Seat of Vaucluse at the next State election in March 2023.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of the Electorate of Vaucluse who elected me three times to be their representative in the NSW Parliament. You inspire me every day and serving you is such a great privilege. I owe a debt of deep gratitude to all the people who supported me in the role. It has been a team effort and I could not have done it without you.
