Adam Paul Bandt (born 11 March 1972) is an Australian politician, former industrial advocate, and co-deputy leader of the Australian Greens.
At the 2010 federal election, Bandt was elected to the Division of Melbourne in the House of Representatives, the lower house of Australia's Parliament.
He is the first member of the Australian Greens to vote in the House of Representatives at a general election but second after Michael Organ, who was elected in a by-election. In 2007, Bandt contested the seat and barely lost to Labor's Lindsay Tanner.
Following his win in the 2010 election, Bandt retained the seat of Melbourne in the 2013 and 2019 elections, increasing his majority each time.
Early life and education
On March 11, 1972, Bandt was born in Adelaide. He is the son of Allan and Moira Bandt. His mother, a teacher and school principal, was born in England and landed in Australia as a Ten Pound Pom. His father, a social worker, later operated a human resource consultancy. On his father's side, he is of Barossa German descent.
About ten years old, Bandt moved to Perth and attended Hollywood Senior High School. He graduated from Murdoch University in 1996 with Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees, and was awarded the Sir Ronald Wilson Prize for Academic Achievement, "which is given to the graduate who best balances outstanding academic success in law units with attributes of leadership, education, and all-round service to the university."
Bandt attended his first protest against a visit to Fremantle by a nuclear-powered ship. He served in his mid-teens, from 1987 to 1989, as a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP). Bandt later claimed that he had left the group as a result of the dismissal of free university under Hawke and Keating, as well as the Higher Education Contributions Scheme. "The change began making education so costly and putting people in debt," Bandt said.
Bandt, a student activist and member of the Left Alliance at Murdoch University, was a student activist and activist of the Left Alliance. During university, he said that Leon Trotsky's imagination inspired him. He was president of the student union and a vocal advocate for higher living allowances for students and free education. Bandt referred to the Greens as a "bourgeois" party when he was a student in 1995, but that supporting them may be the most cost-effective tactic, because "Communists can't fetishise alternative political groups, but that they should still make some kind of empirically based review of any given campaign come election time."
Bandt worked for student unions after graduating from university. He lived in Parkville, Victoria, where he served as an industrial and public interest advocate before his election to parliament in 2010, becoming a partner at Slater & Gordon with unions for clients. He had articles published on the connection between anti-terrorism legislation and labour laws, and he had focused on the textiles industry's outworkers. Bandt claims he has represented firefighters and coal workers facing the threat of privatization.
Bandt released a study titled "The Wages of Fear: Labour Laws and Terror" in 2006.
Bandt completed a PhD at Monash University in 2008, supervised by cultural theorist Andrew Milner, "Rethinking Pashukanis, Marx, and Law." "This thesis is an attempt to rethink Marxist political theory," the author wrote "on the links between globalization and the trend of governments to strip people's of their rights by suspending the rule of law," arguing that "government increasingly don't accept that people have inalienable rights." In the hopes of having it published as a book, his thesis had been embargoed for three years. Bandt is one of 11 members of the Australian Parliament of Education without a PhD, including Katie Allen, Fiona Martin, Anne Aly, Andrew Leigh, Daniel Mulino, Jess Walsh, Mehreen Faruqi, Anne Webster, and Helen Haines.
Bandt released a paper in 2009 arguing that emergencies, such as the global financial crisis and war on terror, have been used by neoliberal "strong states" to "undermine basic rights."
