Andrew John Broad (born 2 July 1975 in {{WAcity|Carnarvon}}, Western Australia) is an Australian politician who has represented Mallee in the Australian House of Representatives since 2013 as a member of The Nationals.[1] He was Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister from September 2018 until his resignation over a 'sugar daddy' sex scandal in December 2018.

Career

Broad is a former President of the Victorian Farmers' Federation,[2][2] Director of the National Farmers Federation and Director of Australian Made. A small business owner, Broad operated his wheat and sheep farm for 16 years from the age of 22. In 2006 Broad completed a Nuffield Scholarship, travelling to over 40 countries to advance his knowledge of best practice canola production, exploring biotechnology, agronomic advances and new grower techniques.[3][4]

Broad is a former Chair of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy,[5] and former Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of UNICEF, and member of the Parliamentarians Against Family Violence group.[6] Broad is also a former member of the Coalition Backbench Committee on Agriculture and the Coalition Backbench Committee on Trade and Investment.[3]{{Self-published inline|date=July 2016}}

Broad's political interests include small business measures, water policy, primary producer tax concessions, domestic violence, illicit drug abuse, drought policy and foreign aid.[7]

In February 2018, Broad announced that he had lost confidence in Barnaby Joyce's leadership of The Nationals, calling on him to resign.[8]

In December 2018, New Idea reported that Broad had used a "seeking arrangements" website to meet a younger woman. Broad, a married man, referred to himself as "James Bond", boasted about being "important" in parliament, and that he knows how "to fuck my woman," the article reported. In response to the report, Broad stated that the woman making the allegations "may have engaged in criminal activity," and that he had referred the matter to the Australian Federal Police.

Broad resigned from the ministry on 17 December as a result of the scandal.[9][10] Subsequently, Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack revealed that he was aware of the allegations two weeks prior to them being published.[11]

The Australian Federal Police said in a statement on 17 December that it had received and "assessed the information provided" by Broad, but that "no applicable offences under Australian law have been identified.” In addition, the agency stated that it had received the referral from Broad on 8 November.[12][13] Broad will reimburse the costs of two flights between Mildura and Melbourne, charged to his Parliamentary account, for when he flew to Hong Kong on personal business, and Broad will not recontest the seat of Mallee at the 2019 election.[14] In January 2019 Broad said that politics had made him “not as nice a person” and that he was quitting to avoid being a “half-laughing stock” in Parliament.[15]
