Dear Ginninderra Residents
Today is the sad day that I resign from the ACT Legislative Assembly. It has now been more than a decade since you first elected me as one of your ACT Legislative Assembly Members, and I have been privileged to be your member and your voice in the ACT Government.
As you know, one of the roles I have enjoyed most is the time I have been able to spend at my mobile offices at local shopping centres, where I met many of you. Meeting and holding conversations with you in person helped me to understand the issues that are of concern to you and your families. I am pleased that as a result of these conversations I have been able to help resolve some of the issues that you raised directly with me.
It has also been great that so many of you have come by just to thank me when I have been able to make a difference, or simply to say Hi.
Unfortunately due to some persistent health issues, I had to make the hard decision to resign my position as you local member and MLA. This has been a decision I didn’t make lightly and I trust that you will be comfortable to contact your other local members or directly contact the minister’s office with your concern.
I wish you all the best and thank you once again.
Yours sincerely,
Mary Porter AM MLA
