South Australia’s Arts Minister Andrea Michaels has announced she will quit politics after the upcoming state election and will not recontest her Adelaide seat of Enfield.
Ms Michaels, who was elected in 2019 and also holds the Consumer and Business Affairs and Small and Family Business portfolios, said she would remain in cabinet until the March election before returning to her law career.
“I want to go back to the law,” she told ABC News, adding she had “a great four years but [it’s] time to go and do something else”.
Her decision follows the resignation of two senior cabinet ministers last September.
Premier Peter Malinauskas thanked Ms Michaels for her “incredible service”, praising her role in rental reforms and the government’s 10-year state cultural policy, and wished her well as she returns to legal practice and family life.
