Walsh steps down as Member for Murray
State Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh has stepped down as the leader of the Nationals in Victoria and deputy leader of the Coalition.
Mr Walsh made the announcement on Tuesday, November 26, after a decade as state leader, but said he would continue “working hard” as the state Member for Murray Plains.
Beginning his political career in 2002 after winning the seat of Swan Hill, Mr Walsh went on to win the new seat of Murray Plains following a redistribution in 2014.
“It has been my privilege to serve the people of two electorates in regional Victoria, in particular, and the whole state in general,” Mr Walsh said.
“To have been able to lead the Nationals for 10 years and help return the party to the prominence it and its supporters deserve, with 11 members in the parliament, has been something which I look on with pride and satisfaction.”
Mr Walsh personally thanked staff members who had worked with him over the past 22 years, and said his work would not have been possible without their support.
