I was born in Launceston in Northern Tasmania in 1951 and havelived and worked in Tasmania most of my life, except for a short period in Queensland. I was educated locally at Cressy District High School and my first job was in the meat industry at the Longford Meatworks. I became the union delegate of Australasian Meat Industry Employees' Union. I worked with the union until 1979 when I gained a seat in the Tasmanian House of Assembly as an ALP Member for Franklin.
I was elected to Federal Parliament in 1993 and was re-elected in 1996, 1998, 2001, 2004 and most recently in November 2007 and have now turned Lyons into a "reasonably safe" Labor seat. Placing my office in my electorate at Perth, instead of in Launceston, I set an agenda to be a champion for small towns and rural areas. From 2006, I was alloted a second office, because of the size of the electorate, and this is located at New Norfolk. I also share an office at Sorell.
Since being elected, I have set up my offices to be able to spend as much time as I possibly can in the electorate, doing a tour around with my mobile office whenever Federal Parliament is not sitting. I travel well over 50,000 km a year talking to people, solving problems and visiting activities in Lyons.
I will continue my commitment to the electorate of Lyons, to finding jobs and developing a better quality of life.
