Julie Bishop announces resignation from Australian Parliament
6 replies, posted
Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has announced she will retire from federal politics, in a surprise statement after Question Time.
Ms Bishop has been on the backbench since the leadership spill last year.
She has held the Perth electorate of Curtin since 1998 and was Australia's first female foreign minister.
The Liberal luminary had said she would contest the 2019 election, but told the House of Representatives she had recently reconsidered her future in the Parliament and wanted to pursue a life outside of politics.

It’s a shame to see her leave, she was a proper Foreign Minister and I believe she was destined to be a great Prime Minister, if circumstances around the Liberal leadership were different.
She took the leadership spill not going in her favor quite hard it seems. She even left parliament before anyone responded to her resignation.
lmao bye bitch
why are we pretending she was any better than the rest of the coalition scumbags
i don't like her but it's funny seeing more and more women leave the liberal party
Well, the bar is exceptionally low so we'll take whatever passes as somewhat human.
She was a wannabe Hillary Clinton and we all know how that worked out.
you could just not take any of them and vote for someone else
