Constance coy on political future

Andrew Constance has left the door open for another tilt at state politics despite earlier this year insisting he would retire before the next election. The NSW Transport Minister said he was “done” with politics following the black summer bushfires but since has had a brief flirtation with politics at a federal level before pulling out of the race to be the candidate for the vacant Eden-Monaro. Speaking with Sky News, Mr Constance was coy on his future saying he would prefer to keep the focus on the job at hand. “I have got the biggest job in the country at the moment. I mean we’re running the biggest transport during COVID - I’m pretty focused on that,” he said. “The community don’t want to hear the soap opera on what I might or might not do in terms of my future career. “I just want to get this job done at the moment. I made it clear when you have gone through what I have been through this year on a personal level, naturally, any human being is going to weigh up their priorities but at this stage, my efforts are on being the best Transport Minister I can be as part of a great government."
