Margaret May
The Shadow Minister for Ageing, Margaret May, called for reform in aged care as she announced that she would not contest the next Federal election.
The member for McPherson has decided to bow out of politics to provide support to her husband David, who has challenging health issues.
In a statement, Mrs May thanked opposition leaders, Dr Brendan Nelson and Malcolm Turnbull for giving her the opportunity to “fight for senior Australians”.
“I still believe very strongly that it is essential that Australia addresses the aged care crisis and provides world-class aged care for our aged and frail,” she said.
