In 2019, she spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald about how she fell for the former pharmacist and their bond over their love of health and fitness.
‘I think that’s self-evident – have you seen him?’ she laughed.

Julie retired from federal politics in 2019, and was the first woman to hold the role of deputy leader of the Liberal Party.
‘Her passion that she has always brought to her role, the dignity and grace that she has always demonstrated in every single role she has held,’ Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Parliament in February 2019.
‘She is an incredibly classy individual. Her successor will have big shoes to fill, and we know that Julie has the best shoes in Parliament.’
