Cameron MacKenzie Caldwell is an Australian politician who is a member of the House of Representatives representing the Division of Fadden. He was elected in the Fadden by-election in July 2023. He is a member of the Liberal National Party of Queensland and sits with the Liberal Party in the federal parliament.
Before his election to federal parliament, he served as a councillor on the City of Gold Coast council since 2012.[1]
Political career
Caldwell was pre-selected by the Liberal National Party (LNP) to run in the seat of Broadwater at the 2012 Queensland state election. In February 2012, a month before the election, he was disendorsed after the party received a complaint from a member of the public about a trip Caldwell had made to a swinger's club.[2] LNP leader Campbell Newman defended the party's decision to dump Caldwell.[3]
In April later that year, Caldwell was elected as the councillor for Division 3 of the City of Gold Coast.[4] He was re-elected in 2016, and then elected as the councillor for Division 4 in 2020.[5][6]
During his time as councillor, in December 2012, while acting mayor of the Gold Coast, Caldwell was accused of assaulting a property developer at a charity function, allegedly grabbing him by the throat, which Caldwell denied.[7]
2023 Fadden by-election
Шаблон:Main Following the resignation of former minister Stuart Robert from parliament, Caldwell was selected as the LNP's candidate in Fadden for the by-election, defeating four other nominees in three rounds of voting.[8] Caldwell stated that the by-election would be a way to send a message to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on issues relating to the economy, saying that he knew he "can be the one they can support in order to deliver for our local community."[9] He was successfully elected in the by-election on 15 July 2023.[10]
Political positions
Caldwell opposed the Labor government's proposal of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament and had backed the Liberal Party's policy to oppose the government's proposal in the referendum.[11]
