In the 2008 Western Australian state election, he was selected as the second National candidate for Agricultural Region in the Legislative Council. He was easily elected; his term began on 22 May 2009.[1] Having previously announced his decision to retire at the end of his term, he instead opted to run on Max Trenorden's independent ticket.[2]
