Kezia Purick Biography

Kezia Purick is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on May 12, 1958 in Brisbane, Australia. Kezia Dorcas Tibisay Purick (born 12 May 1958) is an Australian politician. She is an independent member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, having held her seat of Goyder since the 2008 election. Prior to entering Parliament, Purick was the CEO of the NT Minerals Council for 16 years. Originally elected as a member of the Country Liberal Party, she became an independent in 2015.

Purick was preselected as CLP candidate for Goyder at the 2008 Territory election. The seat, long a CLP stronghold, had been taken by Labor’s Ted Warren in Labor’s 2005 landslide and due to the splitting of the conservative vote by two conservatives standing along with the CLP candidate. A redistribution made the once vast rural seat slightly more compact, adding some conservative-leaning territory on Darwin’s outer fringe. This was enough to erase Warren’s already slim majority and make the seat a notional CLP seat. Purick defeated Warren on a swing of over seven percent, enough to revert Goyder to its traditional status as a safe CLP seat.

Prior to the 2012 election, party leader Terry Mills indicated that should the party win government, Purick would remain as his deputy, and hence become Deputy Chief Minister. The parliamentary wing of the party overrode Mills’ preference; Robyn Lambley was elected as deputy leader, and Purick was left out of cabinet.

She has served as Speaker of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly since the CLP’s victory in the 2012 Territory election, a post she retained after leaving the CLP. Following Territory Labor’s landslide victory at the 2016 Territory election, the new Labor government retained Purick as Speaker.

She served as shadow minister for Major Projects, Trade and Economic Development, Planning and Lands, Housing, Statehood and Women’s Policy in the Territory opposition from 2008 to 2012. In addition, she was deputy leader of the CLP, and therefore deputy leader of the opposition.
