South Australia’s Deputy Premier Susan Close and Treasurer Stephen Mullighan will quit politics and not contest next year’s state election.
An emotional Premier Peter Malinauskas made the announcement with both ministers during an unexpected press conference today.
The premier said his senior ministers came to him with the news separately a few weeks ago.
Susan Close was elected in 2012 while Stephen Mullighan was elected in 2014.
