Jan McLucas Biography

Jan McLucas is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 27, 1958 in Atherton, California, United States. Jan Elizabeth McLucas, born 27 March 1958, is an ex-Australian politician. McLucas represented Queensland as an Australian Labor Party senator from 1999 to 2016. McLucas served as the Minister for Human Services under the Rudd Government until the 2013 Election.

McLucas was reelected to her Senate seat in the 2004 federal election. A new term will begin on July 2005. McLucas was Chair of the Senate Community Affairs Reference Committee and chaired both the Senate Select Committees of Inquiry to Medicare.

In May 2009, journalists from The Australian and opponents in the Liberal Party claimed that Senator McLucas had effectively been living full-time with her partner in Canberra for several years, and only occasionally visited her officially listed residence in Cairns. Prime Minister Rudd refused calls from some in the media to sack her, while the Senator insisted she had claimed travel allowance consistent with the official guidelines. However, on 6 June 2009, it was announced that McLucas had resigned as Parliamentary Secretary “to focus on her senatorial responsibilities for Queensland.” However, media speculation suggested the expenses issue and the unfavourable publicity generated by it may have been a factor in the decision.

McLucas was re-elected in the 2010 election and was sworn in on 14 September 2010 as Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers in the original Second Gillard ministry. On 2 March 2012 she was appointed to the additional role of Parliamentary Secretary for the Prime Minister; and on 25 March 2013, McLucas was appointed as the Minister for Human Services.

McLucas was the preselected number one candidate for Queensland Labor’s ticket to the Australian Senate. This was after Margaret Reynolds’ retirement. Her first term began on the 1st July 1999. McLucas was elected to the Federal Shadow Ministry in 2004 by the Labor caucus. She was given responsibility for Ageing, Disabilities, and Carers.
