Michael Berkman Biography

Michael Berkman is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 13, 1981 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Australian politician Michael Craig Berkman was born 13 March 1981. Since 2017, he has been the Greens representative for Maiwar in Brisbane’s Inner- West, at the Queensland Legislative Assembly. Berkman was elected the Legislative Assembly of Queensland’s first Greens member. Berkman was elected to the new seat in 2017 after Mt Coot-tha and Indooroopilly electorates were abolished. This was to make room for Maiwar’s new seat. Maiwar had a notional LNP margin (3%), defeating Scott Emerson, Indooroopilly LNP member.

Berkman ran for Moreton Bay Region, District 10 in 2016, and then for Peter Dutton against Dickson in the 2016 federal election.

In November 2018, Berkman said schools in Maiwar, Berkman’s electorate, should let students skip lessons to attend a climate change rally. All school principals agreed, according to Mr. Berkman. The rally took place on 30 November. Over 400 students attended, demanding climate action.

In 2018, Berkman introduced a private member’s bill to ban all political donations from businesses to state and local government politicians, candidates and parties, excluding charities and employee or employer organisations. Berkman said the community overwhelmingly supported reform to get big money out of politics. “People feel like Labor and the LNP are just not listening to them, and it’s not hard to see why,” Berkman said. “This is just more evidence that Labor and the LNP are completely wedded to their corporate donors.” The Crime and Corruption Commission did not support the bill, however, Commissioner Alan MacSporran said it was his personal view that in an ideal world all donations would be banned.

Berkman began his political career in 2015 Queensland’s state election, where he ran in Ferny Grove for the Greens. He received 12.11% of the primary vote.
