Nationals MP Broad won't contest election
AAP
Federal government MP Andrew Broad will not contest the next election after it was revealed he travelled to Hong Kong to meet with a younger woman he met online, AAP understands.
Mr Broad resigned as assistant minister to Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack on Monday, after New Idea magazine published an article with alleged details of the meeting.
The Nationals MP also agreed on Tuesday to repay two taxpayer-funded domestic flights involved in the trip.
