Andrew Wilkie MP
My concern with governance has its origins in my decision to resign from the Office of National Assessments (ONA) on 11 March 2003 in protest over the Iraq war. I was the only serving intelligence official in Australia, the UK and US to resign publicly before the invasion. I subsequently ran against Prime Minister John Howard at the 2004 federal election and wrote an account of my experience, Axis of Deceit.
I am active across a range of issues including health, housing, climate change and jobs, as well as the issues that the major parties ignore including animal welfare, gambling reform, asylum seekers, protections for whistleblowers and foreign and security policy. I have served on the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security and was Chairperson of the Parliamentary Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts, Graduate Diploma of Management and Graduate Diploma of Defence Studies.
