Christopher David Hatton (born 15 April 1957) is a former Australian politician who was a Liberal Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 2013 to 2017, representing the seat of Balcatta.
Hatton was born in Perth. He worked as a schoolteacher before entering politics, teaching both in the country and at metropolitan schools.[1] Hatton first ran for parliament at the 2008 state election, standing against John Kobelke (the Labor incumbent) in Balcatta. He polled 47.7 percent of the two-party-preferred vote, a positive swing of 6.9 points from the previous election.[2]
Hatton ran again at the 2013 election, at which Kobelke retired. Balcatta had been one of the most marginal seats prior to the election,[3] and fell to the Liberals after a 9.5-point swing in Hatton's favour.[4] He was defeated in 2017.
