Timothy Noel Richardson (born 18 September 1988) is an Australian politician. He has been a Labor Party member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly since November 2014, representing the Legislative Assembly seat of Mordialloc.[1]
Richardson is married and has 2 young daughters. Richardson was the first member of his family to attend university; he attained a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Commerce from Deakin University.[2]
Richardson was elected to Parliament representing Mordialloc with the Labor party's victory at the 2014 Victorian State election, defeating incumbent Lorraine Wreford who had held the seat since 2010 with a swing of 3.6%.[3] As of the 2014 election Richardson held his seat with a margin of 2.1%.[4] Richardson gave his inaugural speech to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the new member for Mordialloc on 23 December 2014.[5]
Upon the election of the Andrews Labor Government, Richardson was appointed to the Committee for the Environment, Natural Resources and Regional Development, as well as the Independent Broad-Based Anti-corruption Commission Committee.[6]
He was re-elected again in 2018 and 2022.
Richardson was one of six Labor MPs to vote against the legalisation of euthanasia in Victoria.[7] [8]
Originally a member of Labor Right, Richardson defected to Labor Left along with six of his colleagues shortly after the 2022 Victorian state election; the defections of his colleagues and himself meant that Labor Left constituted a majority of the state Labor caucus.[9]
