[1] In 1983, Hazzard joined the Liberal Party and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming regional president and a member of the state executive from 1985 to 1986.

[9] The government subsequently created the job for Metherell, which he accepted, effectively engineering a vacancy in a seat that the Liberal Party would recover at a by-election.

Hazzard also supported proposals to ban the controversial practice of conversion therapy at a state and national level, however, as of August 2019[update] a bill had not yet been introduced.
