She called it a necessary, tough decision for her and her electorate, while praising her recent work on coercive control legislation as the kind of impactful policy the community demands. Her departure follows a short leadership tenure — just seven months after stepping down — and comes amid leadership changes following Labor’s seventh straight win, with Mark Parton now leading and Deborah Morris as deputy. Castley’s time as opposition leader was the second shortest in ACT history. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
