Steven Leigh Martin (born 3 October 1960)[1] is an Australian politician who was a Senator for Tasmania from February 2018 to June 2019, when he lost his seat at the 2019 federal election.
However, she resigned in November 2017 during the parliamentary eligibility crisis after discovering that she held dual British-Australian citizenship and was thus ineligible under section 44 of the Constitution of Australia.
[8][9] Lambie expected Martin to immediately resign, which would have cleared the way for her to be appointed to fill the resulting casual vacancy and return to the Senate.
[12] On 26 June 2018, Martin moved a motion calling for the AFL to commission business plans for the inclusion of a Tasmanian team in the men's and women's national league.
[15] He stood for re-election at the 2019 federal election, with The Sydney Morning Herald reporting that the Nationals are "throwing a modest level of resources behind his bid".
