He will retire to the back bench and serve his full term but will not recontest the seat of Croydon in 2014.

Atkinson, who was first elected to Parliament in 1989, made the shock announcement outside a Prospect church just after 10.45am today.

Mr Atkinson, 51, has been a lightning rod for most of the major problems to have hit Labor in the past two terms.

He also has attracted national criticism over his refusal to allow an R18+ rating for video games.

I'm just posting this quickly, but it seems like all the negative press on him has finally had an effect.

That's actually pretty good news for me, what with me living in Australia.
Perhaps now we can finally get our much needed R+ rating.
