Gordon Nuttall Biography

Gordon Nuttall is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on June 13, 1953 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Gordon Richard Nuttall (born 13 June 1953) is an ex- Australian politician who was a member of Sandgate as a member of the Queensland Parliament from 1992 until the year 2006. He was an active part of the Labor Party and served as Minister within the Beattie Ministry from 2001 until 2005. In 2009, he was found to be corrupt and received secret commissions while in the office and sentenced to seven years. In 2010 the judge found him guilty of five counts of official corruption as well as five perjury charges and finally, sentenced to an additional seven years. the longest sentence for corruption handed down to the Commonwealth politician. He was released on parole in July of 2015.

In 2004, he attempted to become Deputy Prime Minister with an idea to topple the then Premier, Peter Beattie. But, a challenge to the leadership was not supported by then Deputy Prime Minister Anna Bligh, whom Nuttall was a candidate for the post of the new Premier. Ms Bligh later admitted, “I didn’t see it as any serious proposition that would have received any support from my colleagues and it didn’t receive any support from myself.”

In August 2005, Nuttall stepped aside from the Ministry while the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) investigated claims he had given a false answer to a Parliamentary estimates committee regarding his prior knowledge of problems with overseas-trained doctors. The Commission reported back in December 2005, recommending the Attorney-General prosecute Nuttall under section 57 of the Criminal Code. The prosecution was not proceeded with; the government decided to revoke the relevant section of the Criminal Code so Parliament could deal with such matters itself under contempt of parliament provisions.

In July 2005, he resigned as Minister for Health following media exposure of problems at Bundaberg Base Hospital. In June 2010, following a number of investigations, the hospital’s director of surgery, Jayant Patel, was convicted and jailed for seven years on three counts of manslaughter and one count of grievous bodily harm to patients in his care. Nuttall blamed the system he had inherited as well as the administrators at the hospital for the situation which had arisen, but ultimately stepped down from the health portfolio. Premier Peter Beattie opted to take over the portfolio himself, relocating Nuttall to the primary industries and fisheries portfolio.

Ten years ago on May 12, 1998 Nuttall spoke of his patron, Talbot, in Parliament,
