Controversial Queensland LNP MP George Christensen has made the shock decision to retire at the next federal election, with the vocal politician slamming Australia s broken state of politics and warning he won t be going away quietly. Mr Christensen, in a statement provided exclusively to The Courier-Mail, said the time was right to announce he would not recontest his Mackay-based seat at the impending election. He said he had only ever intended to serve three terms when he first ran for office in 2010. Now in his fourth term, Mr Christensen said he wanted to spend more time with his family - ostensibly referring to his Filipina wife April Asuncion - who were caught up overseas due to pandemic border closures.
