That\u2019s a tough call\u2026 you go into public life and you make sacrifices and you realise that when you do it. But in good conscience for me to put my hand up and run for another four years was something at this point in time was not the right time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s primarily a time issue. When you do something well you\u2019ve got to do it to the best of your ability and you can\u2019t do the lord mayor\u2019s role at 70 per cent, you\u2019ve got to do it at 120 per cent to be good at it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me I couldn\u2019t provide that commitment because of personal circumstances. I don think it would\u2019ve been fair to the city of Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I do leave the city considerably better than when I found it and that was my goal. I\u2019ve worked extremely hard\u2026 the city is in much better shape in 2018 than it was I believe in 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>LISTEN:<\/p>\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.acast.com\/david-will\/interview-martinhaese-17september2018\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><\/iframe>&#13;\n&#13;\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today I announced that I am not seeking re-election in November.
