Swan said he wanted to signal his intentions to give the next Labor candidate for Lilley the best chance of holding the seat.
“The area is changing rapidly and being repopulated with young families. It’s therefore time to hand the baton to a fresh, energetic, young candidate who embodies the changing nature of the electorate,” he said.
“I think it would be fitting if the party were to select on this occasion, a young woman with the energy and smarts to represent Lilley forcefully and successfully”.
