Personal Explanation

Member for Waite

Mr DULUK (Waite) (12:19): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Mr DULUK: The last 20 months have had a significant toll on my family, my health and my wellbeing and I need this to stop. I want to give the parliament the dignity that it deserves and more importantly, I want to focus 100 per cent of my energy and commitment to serving the people of Waite.

Therefore, I announce that I will be running as an Independent at the next state election. I will be running on a platform of true Liberal values, appropriate fiscal management, protecting heritage and preserving our environment. I will continue to work on a timetable to fix local infrastructure, invest in sporting clubs, community groups and our emergency services.
