Daniel Christopher Hulme (born 7 October 1979, Melbourne[1]) is an Australian politician currently serving as a Clarence City Councillor. He was a Labor Party member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly from 2009 to 2010 for the electorate of Franklin.

Education and Pre-Parliamentary Career

Prior to entering Parliament, Hulme worked as an electorate officer for Premier Paul Lennon, then for Labor Senator Catryna Bilyk.[citation needed] He has also worked for the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Computer Society.[citation needed]

Hulme graduated from the University of Tasmania with a Bachelor of Computing in 2000, a Bachelor of Computing with Honours in 2001 and a Master of Business Administration in 2008.[2] Hulme was President of the University of Tasmania Student Association (a former student union separate from TUSA) in 2002 and 2003.[3]

Political Career

Hulme entered State parliament on a recount in February 2009 after Paula Wriedt resigned due to ill health. He received 620 primary votes at the 2006 State Election,[4] finishing 11th in a field of 18,[5] but received 8,097 out of 10,660 or 78.0% of votes in the recount.[6] He was defeated in 2010.

Hulme spoke strongly in support of the Tasmanian forest industry and the Regional Forest Agreement at the Timber Communities Australia (TCA) state conference, 4 July 2009. In his speech, he strongly criticised Bob Brown, The Wilderness Society and the Greens. He also said he became a TCA member.[7]

Hulme was elected to Clarence City Council in 2014, [8] and was re-elected in 2018 and 2022.[9] [10]
