Kim Booth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kim Dion Booth (born in 1951, New South Wales) is an Australian politician. He has been a Tasmanian Greens member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly since 2002 representing the Bass electorate.

Prior to entering parliament, Mr Booth ran his own sawmilling business.

Mr Booth was re-elected in the 2006 Tasmanian Legislative Election. He came close to losing his seat to the Australian Labor Party. Reasons include a statewide drop in Green vote and votes earned by Labor's Michelle O'Byrne and independent anti-pulp-mill campaigner Les Rochester. Booth's personal vote was 9.3% of first preferences, a decrease compared to his vote of 11.5% in the 2002 election.
