Declining poll numbers for the Liberals were not a factor in one of the party's frontbenchers deciding to retire from federal politics.
Opposition home affairs spokesman Jonathon Duniam will not seek re-election for his Tasmanian Senate seat and will leave parliament before the end of 2026.
The 43-year-old said he wanted to step back from politics after 10 years in federal parliament to spend more time with his family, including his three children.
"Ten years, on top of 15 years prior to that of being in and around politics, 25 years of my life dedicated to long hours and being away from home a lot has taken a toll on my family," he told reporters in Hobart on Sunday.
"This job has been a very serious one, and as a result, has taken up a lot of time and a lot of energy.
