## Resource

Paul Papalia, WA’s longest-serving MP and Minister for Corrective Services, is stepping down early — July 10th — to focus on his family after a close relative was diagnosed with a serious illness. After decades in public service, including time in the military and politics, he says he can no longer split his attention between his career and his loved ones. His exit triggers a cabinet reshuffle and a competitive by-election in Secret Harbour, reshaping the local political scene.
