Gerard Maley (born 1970) is an Australian politician who serves as an MLA for Nelson as a member of the Country Liberal Party in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly.
[3] Maley studied to be a mechanic after leaving high school in year 11, and then became an inspector and public relations agent for the Department of Transport & Works.
Following this, he returned to study law at Charles Darwin University, and after graduating, joined his brother, Peter, at Maleys Barristers & Solicitors.
[5] Maley was selected for the Country Liberals to contest the seat Nelson in the 2016 Northern Territory general election which he lost to long time independent member Gerry Wood.
However, for most of its existence, Nelson has been a comfortably safe CLP seat in "traditional" two-party matchups against Labor, so Maley's win was not considered an upset.
