Tim Quinn is an Australian politician. His reign as Brisbane's Lord Mayor was one of the city's shortest. Quinn, part of the left wing faction of the Australian Labor Party, came to power after a factional deal by party officials following popular Lord Mayor Jim Soorley's retirement from politics in 2003. He was subsequently defeated by Campbell Newman in March 2004.

[edit] The Deal

Having been deputy mayor to the long-serving Jim Soorley, Quinn did not have much of a profile in the city at large. Thus, the factional deal which appointed him (over the more well-known David Hinchliffe) was seen as a typical example of a "backroom deal" by the Party.[citation needed]
