The reason was that I believe she was a much less than ordinary Federal Health Minister and that her acceptance of the advice of the Department Of Health on the ConOps Framework for the PCEHR / NEHRS has been very damaging to e-Health overall as has her continuing apparent support of NEHTA despite its obvious failings.
I needed some time to just consider a position and while being critical, to at least be polite.
I have no idea how good she was as A-G, but as a Minister for E-Health she gets a fail from me.
As a person, mother and so on I wish her all the best for the future.
