FRAN Bailey, Federal Member for McEwen, will be hanging up her political boots, announcing her retirement from Federal Parliament at the next election.
Ms Bailey was elected to the marginal Victorian seat in 1990.
"It has been a tremendous honour to represent all my communities in the Federal Parliament," she said.
"We have worked together for 17 years to improve each of our communities through enterprise, improved infrastructure and services and opportunities for young people."
Much of the McEwen electorate was devastated by the Black Saturday bushfires and Ms Bailey said working with local communities following this tragedy has been the biggest challenge over the last 17 years.
Ms Bailey was the first woman from any political party to represent a rural electorate in the House of Representatives and the first Victorian woman to be elected to the House of Representatives.
Soon after being elected, Ms Bailey took on the role of Shadow Minister for Consumer Affairs.
She was defeated in the 1993 election, but regained the seat again in 1996.
Following this Ms Bailey served as Parliamentary Secretary for Defence between 2001 and 2004.
In 2004 Ms Bailey took on the Employment Services portfolio and also served as Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence and later Minister for Small Business and Tourism.
She considers her greatest accomplishment achieving the best results for our local communities.
"When in Defence, being part of a small group of Ministers responsible for our country’s national security and when Tourism Minister where we increased the takings for our tourism operators by $4.2billion following the ‘So where the bloody hell are you campaign’".
The 2007 election produced one of the closest results in Australian history when Ms Bailey retained the McEwen electorate by the 12 votes after a recount.
The result was later challenged in the High Court and the winning margin was increased to 31.
"It has been an absolute privilege to represent such a huge and diverse electorate as McEwen and serve our nation in out Commonwealth Parliament," Ms Bailey said.
"I thank everyone who has supported me throughout my parliamentary career."
At this stage she has no plans for her retirement.
The Victorian division of the Liberal party will now call for nominations for pre-selection at some stage before the next Federal election.
Ms Bailey’s former rival, 2001 Labor candidate for McEwen and 2010 pre-selection candidate Andrew MacLeod, congratulated her on her retirement announcement.
"We have fought many battles against Fran over the past few years, but most of us recognise that even though she is on the other side of the political fence, she nevertheless worked hard.
"Whoever replaces Fran, be they Liberal or Labor, will also have to work hard to win the trust and confidence of the electorate," he said.
