Statement from the NSW Liberal Party President

On behalf of all Party Members, I would like to thank the Hon Gladys Berejiklian for her outstanding service to our state, our community and our Party.
 
Gladys has been a Member of the Liberal Party since her youth, including a term in 1996-97 as the Young Liberal President.
 
Her incredible story, from her humble migrant beginnings to rising to the highest office in the state, through incredible hard work and dedication has inspired countless others.
 
She has faithfully represented the people of Willoughby since March 2003, and had served our state as the Minister for Transport, Minister for Industrial Relations and Treasurer – before she was elected in January 2017 as the Leader of the Parliamentary Liberal Party and sworn in as the Premier.
 
The Party owes a great debt of gratitude for her incredibly hard work, leading the state Party and taking our team to a third term victory in 2019 - delivering NSW a strong Coalition government.
 
Gladys has led our state through some of its most challenging times, from bushfires to drought, from floods to storms, and a once-in-a-century pandemic – and she has always put the needs of the people of our state first.
 
I thank Gladys for her decades of dedication and service.

State President
The Hon Philip Ruddock AO
