"As counting winds up for the 2022 election, many former MPs are beginning a
whole new life beyond parliament.

The experience of MPs who lost their seats is often shattering. Former Liberal
MP Tim Wilson said he was in the “foetal position crying” the morning after the
May 21 poll.

Our new study of state MPs shows this experience is both common and
long-lasting, with serious implications for our democracy."
