Victoria’s Tourism minister Martin Pakula is one of the state’s four senior government ministers to resign and step down from their portfolios ahead of the November elections.
“A decade in the ministry has taught me that a government with big ambitions for the state, its people and its future is something to be cherished,” said Mr Pakula.
“It’s certainly not something I have ever taken for granted, and if the rest of my working life is half as rewarding as this chapter has been, I will consider myself truly fortunate.”
Mr Pakula’s portfolio included jobs, Innovation & Trade, Tourism, Sport & Major Events.
