Kerry Bartlett

Kerry Joseph Bartlett (born 15 April 1949) is an Australian politician.

Before entering politics, he was a school economics and history teacher at Wycliffe Christian School, a university economics tutor and a financial planner.

Bartlett did not attain a ministry but was Chief Government Whip from 2004 until 2007.

He'd previously held the seat with a fairly safe majority of eight percent, but a redistribution wiped out Bartlett's majority and turned Macquarie into a marginal Labor seat.

He was defeated by former Labor state minister Bob Debus on a swing of six percent.
