Craig Ingram (born 25 March 1965)[2] is a former Australian politician, and was the Independent Member of Parliament for Gippsland East in the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1999 to 2010.
[1] At the 1999 election, he unexpectedly won the seat after receiving preferences from the independent, One Nation and Labor candidates.
Ingram came under heavy criticism in mid-2007 when he failed to return from holidays to his electorate which had suffered devastating floods.
[4] Ingram was defeated in the 2010 Election as John Brumby's Labor government was removed from office, and the Coalition regained power across Victoria.
Gippsland East was returned to National Party hands, when their new candidate, Tim Bull, gained a very large swing.
