Nick Xenophon
Nick Xenophon is the founder and leader of Nick Xenophon Team.
Nick first entered parliament in 1997, when he was elected to the South Australian Legislative Council as an independent on a no-pokies platform. He ran for and was elected to the Australian Senate in 2007 and was re-elected to the Senate in the September 2013 federal election. Nick is a passionate advocate and watchdog for South Australia’s interests.
He has pushed for many reforms that benefit not only South Australians, but all Australians - including pokies, water, food labelling, manufacturing, education and healthcare.
