Craig Laundy Biography

Craig Laundy is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 16, 1971 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Craig Arthur Samuel Laundy (born 16 February 1971) is an ex- Australian Liberal Party politician who served as a Member of the Australian Parliament for Reid from 2013 until his retirement in the year 2019. He was the Minister of Small and Family Business, the Workplace and Deregulation within the Second Turnbull Ministry prior to taking a leave of absence in August 2018 in the wake of the resignation from office of Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister. On March 15, 2019 Laundy said he’d leave politics after the 2019 federal election.

Laundy is co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Palestine Group. On June 5, 2014, Laundy was a member of the Abbott Government. Abbott Government announced the term “occupied” would no longer be used to refer to East Jerusalem. Laundy protested publicly against the change in the language, saying East Jerusalem was in fact occupied by the armed Israeli forces.

In March 2014, the Attorney-General George Brandis proposed draft legislative amendments to the Racial Discrimination Act, 1975, seeking to remove sections that made it unlawful “to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people” on the basis of their “race, colour or national or ethnic origin.” Laundy, a Liberal backbencher at the time, spoke out against the changes, saying that it was “important that we support a legislative system that reflects the diverse and multicultural country that modern Australia has become today.” The changes were dropped after widespread public outrage, and opposition from some Liberal backbenchers, including Laundy, Phillip Ruddock, and Ken Wyatt, an indigenous Member of Parliament.

In January 2014, public broadcaster, the ABC received criticism from senior members of the Coalition government, including the Defence Minister, David Johnston and the Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who said that he feels that sometimes the ABC acts in a way that “instinctively takes everyone’s side but Australia’s.” Laundy defended the ABC, responding that he does not defend their content, but their right to “say what they want.” He said that “the beauty of living in a democracy is that if you don’t like what you’re hearing, what you’re watching, or what you’re looking at on the internet, choose another channel.” He also said that it is not the role of the ABC to be patriotic.

Laundy is not a supporter of gay marriage, however, he had previously voted for an unconscience vote regarding the issue. He was in September of 2014 when he announced that he was no longer a supporter of the right to vote. When his district voted favor of marriage between gay and straight as part of the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey, Laundy voted for the Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Act 2017that legalized marriage between same-sex couples in Australia.
