Rachel Carling-Jenkins (née Carling) (born 2 September 1975) is an Australian politician. She was a member of the Victorian Legislative Council from 2014 to 2018, representing Western Metropolitan Region for the Democratic Labour Party (2014-2017), Australian Conservatives (2017-2018) and as an independent (2018). She did not recontest her Legislative Council seat at the 2018 election, instead unsuccessfully contesting the Legislative Assembly seat of Werribee.

Career and party affiliations

Carling-Jenkins has a Ph.D. in Social Science; she has worked as an academic and social worker. Carling-Jenkins is the author of Disability and Social Movements,[1] which was published in November 2014.

She was elected as a Democratic Labour Party (DLP) member in the Western Metropolitan Region of the Victorian Legislative Council at the 2014 state election.[2][3] On 26 June 2017, Carling-Jenkins resigned from the DLP to join Cory Bernardi's Australian Conservatives.[4][5][6] Carling-Jenkins said of the move, “I think it’s time for minor parties, like-minded parties, to unite because the conservative vote has been fractured."[7] On 3 August 2018 Carling-Jenkins quit the Australian Conservatives after the party announced it will not contest the Victorian election in 2018. [8]

Policy positions

Jenkins has asked why money is being allocated preferentially to one side of the debate during the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey.[9][10]

In Carling-Jenkins' inaugural parliamentary speech, she described herself as a social justice campaigner, committed to raising awareness about gender selection abortions, cracking down on the sex industry, and rights and care for the disabled and elderly.[4]

In a speech to the Victorian Legislative Council in September 2017, Carling-Jenkins disclosed that her former husband had been convicted and imprisoned for possession of child pornography, describing her shock at discovering the material on his computer and how she had reported him to the police.[11]

Carling-Jenkins is widely credited with being the force behind the introduction of Jalal's Law, which provides that any unlicensed driver involved in a crash where someone is killed or injured will be presumed to have been driving dangerously. The change follows community lobbying over the death of 13-year-old boy Jalal Yassine-Naja, who was killed after being struck by a four-wheel-drive with an unlicensed driver behind the wheel in March 2017.[12]
