Reason behind Premier’s shock resignation

Reason behind Premier’s shock resignation

WA Premier Mark McGowan has introduced he’ll stand down as each state chief and member for Rockingham subsequent week.

Making the announcement at a media convention early Monday afternoon, Mr McGowan defined the straightforward purpose behind his resolution.

“I’m tired. Extremely tired,” he mentioned.

“In fact, I’m exhausted.

“The role of political leadership does not stop, it is relentless. With huge responsibility but it is all consuming, each and every day. And combined with the Covid years, it has taken it out of me.

“I‘m convinced WA Labor can win and will win the next election in 2025. But I just don’t have the energy or drive that is required to continue in the role as Premier.

“Therefore, I will be resigning as Premier and member for Rockingham. This week will be my final week.”
