Federal Leader of the United Australia Party, Clive Palmer, today announced experienced government advisor and business advocate Kevin Morgan as the lead candidate for the party’s Senate team in Tasmania.

“Kevin is the ideal candidate to lead our Tasmanian Senate team that promises to put Tasmania back on the map,’’ Mr Palmer said.

“Tasmania has reached the stage where there is a chance for real change which Kevin Morgan can deliver.”

Born and bred in Tasmania, Mr Morgan learned the importance of dedication, team work and leadership as a player, coach and administrator in multiple sports.

He studied electrical engineering and began work with the Hydro Electric Commission in 1977.

Mr Morgan started and operated his own electronic monetary processing system from 1993 to 2009 before working as Adviser with the Department of Premier and Cabinet supporting Business and the McCain’s Community Taskforce from 2010 to 2013.

He has since worked as a marketing specialist for small business and has extensive campaign experience with the former Palmer United Party where he was state leader in Federal and State elections and the party’s Tasmanian co-ordinator.

“I pride myself on being an action person and fixing Tasmania’s problems with a vision and a plan and then delivering on it,’’ Mr Morgan said.

“No other party has delivered a sustainable vision and plan for Australia’s future.

“I am standing for the Senate because I am sick and tired of politicians putting Tasmania last,’’ he said.

“It is a sad situation that many Tasmanians cannot find work, resulting in declining respect for ourselves, each other and the community.

“We need investment and jobs in order to develop our towns and communities which only the United Australia Party can deliver,’’ he said.

United Australia Party Secretary for North Queensland, Jen Sackley, has spoken out about women in politics saying Australia would never be a true democracy until there was equity in parliament.

“The Australian political scene is not just a male dominated cesspool, but also one comprising female political war horses  who lack the fortitude to make the necessary changes,’’ Ms Sackley said.

“In my opinion, the political landscape in Australia, while dominated by suits from the time of its conception, are suits who are often supported by women who play the gender card.

“Women are either leaving the LNP in droves or being driven into seats by the male-dominated old guard of ALP where they have no chance of winning.

“While politicians fight each other over this age old debate, they continue to create a smoke screen covering the reality that neither party really values women.

“Many of the political war horses in Australia’s’ two party duopoly need to be put out to pasture and should be encouraging younger woman to take their roles,’’ she said.

“Why is this debate still on the table when women represent more than 50% of the Australian population?

“Sadly it appears there is a long way to go before we are rid of male-dominated politics, resting on deeply engrained misogynistic values,’’ Ms Sackley said.
