Today, Andrew Hirst advised that he would be stepping down from the role as Federal Director of the Liberal Party of Australia.
We have worked closely with Andrew over a number of years, and we've always valued his steady judgment, professionalism, and commitment to the Party.
He has taken on demanding roles during some very tough campaigns, in the 2013 election campaign, and again in 2019, where he was crucial in delivering a result few thought possible - and he's done so with resilience and integrity.
This job often happens behind the scenes, but Andrew's contribution has been significant, helping to hold the organisation together and ensuring we were always fighting hard for the values we believe in.
We thank Andrew sincerely for his service and for the support he has shown to colleagues across the Party. We know he will continue to serve the Liberal Party in many ways into the future, we wish him and his family all the very best.
We now turn our focus to the work ahead: continuing to rebuild, strengthen our team, and earn the trust of Australians.
Because at the end of the day, our task is clear. It is to protect Australians' way of life and restore their standard of living.
