The controversial Victorian Liberal Party figure has announced he’s stepping down to reboot his own political career.
confirmed he will run for the third spot on the Senate ticket, which will be decided at a preselection convention in November ahead of a federal election, due between 2024 and mid-2025.
“This has not been an easy decision, but I do so in the context of my decision to seek pre-selection on the party’s senate ticket for the next federal election, and my wish to avoid any perception of conflict of interest.” Mirabella, who replaced veteran Liberal Robert Clark in August 2022, has been a controversial figure in the Victorian Liberal Party fuelled, in part, by his attempt to overhaul the party’s administrative wing and his scathing assessments of recent election losses.
In his email to the membership, Mirabella spruiked his administrative changes as improving “the machinery of the Party”, which he said will provide “more horsepower to our MPs and candidates”.Mirabella is the husband of former MP Sophie Mirabella and has previously served as a senator and member of the Victorian Liberal branch’s decision-making body, the administrative committee.
