Malcolm Moss has announced he will be standing down from his seat at the next election:
"I have concluded that with the 'old age pension' looming next year, perhaps this really is the right time to decide to make this Parliament my last. I had to decide that if there was an election in October, would I want to serve another five years. No I wouldn't."
The local association, who have known about it for a month, will decide on the selection process in two weeks. His majority has been reduced by boundary changes from approximately 9000 to a measly 7500, however, so I hardly think any candidates will bother with it...
