She was the LNP member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland for Broadwater from 2012 to 2015. She defeated Peta-Kaye Croft at the 2012 state election and was re-elected at the 2015 election, before losing LNP preselection for the 2017 election to former MP David Crisafulli.[1] Barton was educated at All Hallows' School in Brisbane. She went on to further studies in law and politics at Bond University on the Gold Coast and Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, Illinois.[2] Prior to her election she worked in the retail industry and also served as a media consultant for Senator George Brandis. Political careerBarton joined LNP-predecessor the former Liberal Party at 17. She has held various senior local branch positions, including chair of the Broadwater State Electorate Council. She has been a member of the LNP State Council and was a member of the Young LNP Management Committee from 2010 until 2012. Barton is the granddaughter of former member for Kurilpa, Clive Hughes.[2] Aged 26 years, 7 months and 18 days old when first elected, Barton was the youngest woman ever elected to the Queensland Parliament.[3] Throughout the 54th Parliament, Barton was a member of the Legal Affairs and Community Safety Committee and was appointed as Temporary Chair of Committees, a role which saw her serve as an acting Deputy Speaker in the Parliament.[2] Ms Barton is a strong monarchist having made a speech to parliament in May 2013 in support of the Succession to the Crown Bill 2013 referencing her admiration of the British Royal Family and ending her comments with "God bless Queensland, God bless Australia and God save the Queen."[4] In her maiden speech to Queensland Parliament, Verity Barton stated she was a "proud conservative" and listed Sir Robert Menzies, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and John Howard as her "key political influences."[5] In the same speech, Ms Barton also made reference to her strong Catholic faith. On 8 January 2015, it was revealed that Barton had her driving licence suspended in both 2012 and 2013 after failing to pay road tolls, and that she had driven while unlicensed. After being reprimanded at LNP headquarters, she issued a statement apologising for her actions and telling her electors that she was still willing to serve them if given the opportunity at the forthcoming election.[6] Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said there was no need to discipline her, despite the 2012 resignation of the then LNP police minister, David Gibson, for driving while his licence was suspended.[7] In May 2017, Ms Barton lost preselection for the seat of Broadwater to former Newman Government Minister, David Crisafulli.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ecq.qld.gov.au/elections/state/State2012/results/district8.html|title=2012 State General Election – Broadwater – District Summary|publisher=Electoral Commission of Queensland|accessdate=4 August 2012}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before=Peta-Kaye Croft}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Broadwater|years=2012–2017}}{{s-aft|after=David Crisafulli}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Barton, Verity}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/current/list/bio?member=Barton+Verity|title=Member Biography – Miss Verity Barton|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|accessdate=4 August 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Barton|first=Verity|title=Maiden Speech|url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/members/InauguralSpeech/barv2012_05_29_34.pdf|work=Hansard Tuesday, 29 May 2012|publisher=Queensland Parliament|accessdate=6 September 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Remeikis|first1=Amy|title=MP holds on to hopes for Harry's hand|url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/mp-holds-on-to-hopes-for-harrys-hand-20130502-2ivgs.html|website=Brisbanetimes.com.au|publisher=Brisbane Times|accessdate=3 January 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Hansard|title=Hansard Tuesday, 29 May 2012 - Verity Barton MP|url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/members/InauguralSpeech/barv2012_05_29_34.pdf|website=www.parliament.qld.gov.au|publisher=Queensland Parliament|accessdate=3 January 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Pierce|first1=Jeremy|title=MP for Broadwater Verity Barton admits to losing licence|url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland-state-election-2015/mp-for-broadwater-verity-barton-admits-to-losing-licence-over-unpaid-road-tolls/story-fnr8vuu5-1227178765446?nk=cde12c7a3d231878c0d104d6c72b324c|accessdate=13 January 2015|work=The Courier Mail|date=8 January 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Tlozek|first1=Eric|last2=Eaton|first2=Matt|title=Premier Newman defends Gold Coast MP Verity Barton over unlicensed driving admission|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-09/newman-defends-gold-coast-mp-verity-barton-unlicenced-driving/6009224|accessdate=13 January 2015|work=ABC News|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=9 January 2015}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/gold-coast/newman-government-minister-beats-mp-verity-barton-in-battle-for-broadwater-preselection/news-story/8ff451e7bb0fd5b11c2d713b1e2b66bf|title=Crisafulli wins Broadwater battle|access-date=2017-11-02}} 11 : 1985 births|Living people|Bond University alumni|Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law alumni|Australian monarchists|Liberal National Party of Queensland politicians|Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly|People from the Gold Coast, Queensland|21st-century Australian politicians|21st-century women politicians|Women members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly |
