Cory Bernardi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cory Bernardi (born 6 November 1969, Adelaide) is an Australian politician. Following the resignation of Robert Hill from the Australian Senate in March 2006 to become Ambassador to the United Nations, Bernardi was chosen by the Parliament of South Australia to fill the vacancy. His senate term officially commenced on 4 May 2006 and ends on 30 June 2008.[1]
A former financial planner, Bernardi was President of the South Australian Division of the Liberal Party of Australia from 1998 to 2000 and was the Party's Federal Vice President from 2005 until late 2006 when he voluntarily resigned to avoid any potential conflict of interest as a Senator. Bernardi defeated State Party Vice President Simon Birmingham in the race to be the Party's nominee for Hill's vacancy.
On February 17 2007, Bernardi was pre-selected by the State Council of the South Australian Liberal Party to be the number one candidate on the South Australian Liberal Senate ticket for the Federal election to be held in late 2007. He again was pre-selected ahead of Simon Birmingham who is the second candidate on the Liberal ticket, while Senator Grant Chapman came in third.
