He was not charged with any offence.<\/p>\n In parliament in February 2025, Sullivan thanked his wife and family for their support.<\/p>\n \u201cI apologise for my absence in recent sitting weeks, but I have been working hard in the community since my election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI thank my leadership team for giving me the time and space to address my health issues.<\/p>\n \u201cI thank the professionals \u2013 the doctors, nurses, allied health and support staff \u2013 at the Brisbane Private Hospital for their care and support. With their help, I am a better dad and a better husband.\u201d<\/p>\n If you, or someone you know, needs support you can call Lifeline<\/a> on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue<\/a> on 1300 224 636.<\/p>\n Start the day with a summary of the day\u2019s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
