The former South Australian minister at the centre of the Oakden mental health facility scandal has announced she will not contest the March state election. In a letter to Premier Jay Weatherill on Thursday, Lisa Vlahos – formerly the state’s mental health minister – said the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption planned to release the findings of an investigation into abuse at the facility in the weeks before the election. “While I expect no adverse finding, I am concerned that the timing of the release of this report could mean that my candidature could become a distraction at this most important time,” she wrote.
