STATEMEMT FROM PREMIER Peter Malinauskas
I want to thank Andrea Michaels for her incredible service to the people of Enfield, the Labor Party and the state of South Australia over the past 7 years.
Andrea chose to leave a successful career in the law to serve her community and her state - and she has done so with distinction.
Following her election to Parliament in early 2019, she was quickly elevated to the Shadow Cabinet, serving in portfolios including Housing, Planning, Urban Development, Consumer and Business Affairs and Small and Family Business.
She played an integral role in shaping Labor's policy agenda across these portfolios in the lead up to the 2022 State Election.
In government, she has been an outstanding Minister, serving in the portfolios of Arts, Consumer and Business Affairs and Small and Family Business, and driving reforms that will endure well beyond her parliamentary career.
This includes the State Government's rental reforms which have delivered more rights to renters, the Small Business Strategy and the landmark 10-year State Cultural Policy for the arts, culture and creative sectors.
I wish Andrea all the best as she returns to her legal career and have no doubt she will relish the opportunity to spend more time with her family - particularly her two boys Sebastian and Charlie and her husband Josh.
