Glasson was born in Winton, Queensland on 2 January 1953. His father, Bill Glasson (1925-2012), was a National Party Queensland state politician 1974-89 and Minister of Cabinet in the government of Joh Bjelke Petersen. He was in charge of various portfolios including Police and Lands, among others.

In September 2012 he was chosen as the Liberal National Party of Queensland’s candidate for the Brisbane federal seat of Griffith to oppose the Labor sitting member, Kevin Rudd. At that time, Rudd was the former Prime Minister of Australia, as he had resigned the office in June 2010 and Julia Gillard had been elected unopposed in his place. In June 2013, however, Rudd regained the prime ministership. Glasson was unsuccessful at the September 2013 federal election, with Rudd retaining Griffith with 53.0% of the two-party preferred vote, representing a 5.5% swing against the ALP. This swing was the largest suffered by a Labor incumbent in Queensland at the election. Glasson led Rudd on primary votes by 42.2% to 40.4%. In his concession speech after losing the prime ministership to Tony Abbott, Kevin Rudd said “it would be un-prime ministerial of me to say Bill Glasson, eat your heart out, so I won’t”.

Rudd resigned from Parliament in November 2013, and a Griffith by-election was held on 8 February 2014. Glasson again contested for the LNP, but was defeated by Labor’s Terri Butler.

Glasson began his involvement with The Australian Medical Association (AMA) at the Queensland level in 1995.
