Patrick Paul Elliot "Paddy" Embry (born 19 October 1942) is a former Australian politician. Born in Oundle in the United Kingdom to Air Chief Marshal Basil Embry and farmer Margaret Elliot,[1] he arrived in Australia in December 1956 and became a farmer. In 2001, he was elected to the Western Australian Legislative Council for South West Region, representing One Nation. On 15 May 2003, he resigned from One Nation to sit as an independent. He co-founded the New Country Party with fellow ex-One Nation independent Frank Hough on 30 November 2004. Embry was defeated in 2005.[2]
