Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion says he won’t be contesting the next election, ending a 17-year stint in the Senate. The Northern Territory Senator's announcement on Australia Day follows in the path of frontbenchers Michael Keenan and Kelly O’Dwyer, both of which this week announced their decision to step aside to focus on their families. The Country Liberal Party member and leader of the Nationals in the Senate says he's quitting because 'it's time' and he doesn't want to leave Territorians mid-term. Image: News Corp Australia
