Tim Nicholls
Timothy James Nicholls (born 6 April 1965) is an Australian politician and a former leader of the Liberal National Party of Queensland. He served as the Treasurer of Queensland and the Minister for Trade of that state between March/April 2012 and 14 February 2015. He is the member for Clayfield in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland and Minister for Health and Ambulance Services in the Crisafulli ministry.
He was originally a member of the Liberal Party, including a stint as its deputy leader, but joined the Liberal National Party in 2008 when the Liberal Party and the National Party merged in Queensland.
Nicholls was educated at Trinity Grammar School in Melbourne and the Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane.
He completed a Bachelor of Laws at Queensland University of Technology.
Originally a solicitor, Nicholls began his political career as a councillor in the Hamilton ward of the Brisbane City Council, which he held for six years. In 2006, he ran as the Liberal candidate in Clayfield, and defeated incumbent member Liddy Clark, achieving a swing of 3.2 points.
Shortly after being elected to State Parliament, Nicholls was encouraged by party colleagues to stand against Bruce Flegg for the Liberal Party leadership. Initially, he did not have enough support in the eight-member Liberal caucus.
Shortly after the federal election of 2007, Nicholls again stood against Flegg for leadership. Eventually Mark McArdle was offered as a neutral party and he accepted leadership with Nicholls as his deputy.
The leadership dispute was rendered virtually moot when the Queensland Liberal Party and Queensland National Party merged less than a year later to form the Liberal National Party. Nicholls was appointed Shadow Treasurer by Lawrence Springborg and continued to hold that position in John-Paul Langbroek's Shadow Ministry.
