- Former Victorian Liberal MP Inga Peulich dies
- He served as Parliamentary Secretary for Education.
Former Victoria Liberal MP Inga Peulich has died surprisingly at the age of 67.
Ms Peulich, known for her conservative views, was a staunch opponent of Melbourne’s supervised injecting rooms and Safe Schools program.
He left politics after losing his seat in the upper house of the South-East Metropolitan Region in the 2018 elections.
Prior to that, she spent a decade in the lower house after being elected to the seat of Bentleigh as part of Jeff Kennett’s first government in 1992.
She served as Parliamentary Secretary for Education during the Baillieu/Napthine government, which was in office from 2010 to 2014.
The news of his death came as a shock to current MPs and former colleagues.
Victorian Opposition Leader John Pesutto expressed his condolences to Ms Peulich’s family, including her husband Savo, son Paul and mother Nena.
“Inga Peulich was a fierce advocate for Victoria’s multicultural communities, Melbourne’s south-east and the Liberal Party,” he said.
‘With a commitment to community, Inga’s life, accomplishments, career and advocacy fulfilled those dreams as she continued to pave the way for many migrants to our great state.’
