AFTER more than two decades of dedicated political service, Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey, the longest serving National Party MP in Australia, has announced she will not be recontesting the 2023 NSW State election. “After eight years as your local Member for Oxley, which followed twelve years in the NSW Upper House, I have decided it’s time to leave the NSW Parliament,” said Mrs Pavey. “I’d like to thank you all for your support - it’s been a privilege to represent you.” Mrs Pavey entered parliament in NSW’s upper house in 2002 before being elected Member for Oxley in 2015. Pavey also served as minister for water, property and housing from 2019, before a reshuffle in December 2021 excluded her from the newly formed cabinet.
