Chris Trevor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chris Allan Trevor is an Australian politician. He is an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives, representing the Division of Flynn since 2007.

Trevor won the Queensland based seat of Flynn at the 2007 federal election. Flynn was a newly proclaimed seat at that election, created by a redistribution of electoral boundaries finalised in 2006. [1] Subsequent to that redistribution, Flynn was calculated to have a National Party notional majority of 57.7% to Labor 42.3%, based on the results of the 2004 federal election. [2] Trevor won the seat with a Labor majority of 50.2% to National 49.8%, a substantial swing in Labor's favour. [3]

Trevor had not been his party's first choice of candidate to contest Flynn. The Labor Party originally endorsed Jennifer Algie. Algie withdrew in early 2007 after queries were raised about the process that chose her. [4]

Trevor was also the Labor candidate for the Queensland Legislative Assembly seat of Gladstone at the 2006 Queensland state election. His candidacy coincided with a substantial improvement of the Labor vote in the seat, but he narrowly lost to sitting member Liz Cunningham. [5]
