Hollie Hughes Biography

Hollie Hughes is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 12, 1975 in Adelaide, Australia. Hollie Alexandra Hughes, a senator for New South Wales in Australia was born 12 February 1975. She is a member the Liberal Party.

Hughes was ostensibly disqualified from being elected to the Senate in 2016. She was then appointed to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal where she served a part-time role. Hughes resigned her position from the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in 2017 after Senator Fiona Nash was ruled ineligible. This made Hughes more likely to be chosen to replace Nash.

The High Court found Hughes to be ineligible for election as a senator in parliament, ruling that the period during which she held the position on the tribunal was technically a part of the election period. The summons made by the attorney general for Hughes to be declared duly elected to the Senate, following the special count, was dismissed. Considering Hughes’ appointment as a part-time member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal on 1 July 2017, the Court held that the position made her “incapable of being chosen” under Section 44(iv) of the Commonwealth Constitution.

On 27 October 2017, the High Court, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, considered issues raised by the Senate referring to Section 376 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act. The primary issues of contention were the timing of Hughes’ appointment to the Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal and the subsequent recount which took place. In the judgement, delivered by Chief Justice Susan Kiefel and Justices Virginia Bell, Stephen Gageler, Patrick Keane and James Edelman, the court noted that the prevailing issue was “whether holding that disqualifying office during the discrete period between 1 July and 27 October was enough to render Ms Hughes incapable of being chosen”. In an affidavit submitted to the Court by Hughes’ solicitor, it was submitted that at the date of the 2016 election, Hughes held no such position and was thus eligible to be nominated, despite her subsequent appointment to the tribunal. The issue facing the Court was whether Hughes’ appointment in 2017 had occurred during the “election period” and thus whether she held an office of profit under the crown prior to or during the process of her being chosen as a Senator.

Hughes ran for the Senate in 2016 to represent New South Wales. She was the sixth on the Coalition ticket. This position was unwinnable. The 2017 Australian parliamentary eligibility crisis saw Senator Fiona Nash, of the National Party, declared ineligible for the senate by Section 44(i). This was due to her status as a British Citizen. Hughes was the Coalition’s first unelected candidate for New South Wales. She was to be elected based on a countback of New South Wales Senate vote votes that excluded Nash.
