Timeline

1972

Dugald Milton Dick (born 21 July 1972) is an Australian politician who serves as the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives.

Dick was born in Brisbane on 21 July 1972, the son of Joan and Allan Dick.

His father was a World War II naval veteran and subsequently established a chain of butcher's shops in Brisbane's southern suburbs, while his mother was a midwife.

He attended the Anglican Church Grammar School and holds the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Queensland.

Dick joined the ALP at the age of 18 as a university student and served as national president of Young Labor.

1993

From 1993 to 1998, he worked as an electorate officer for David Beddall, describing his door to door campaigning in Inala, Queensland as his first real break in politics.

1998

He went on to work for Senator John Hogg, the President of the Senate, from 1998 to 2000.

Hogg became a mentor from this time on.

2004

Dick became an ALP organiser and was appointed as the party's state secretary and campaign director in 2004, having served as a delegate to the national conference since 2001.

2007

He led the party's successful campaign in Queensland at the 2007 federal election.

He announced his resignation in December 2007 to stand for political office, effective in March 2008.

2008

He previously served on the Brisbane City Council (2008–2016) and as ALP state secretary (2004–2008).

He is the brother of Queensland Treasurer and Deputy Premier Cameron Dick.

In 2008, Dick was elected to the Brisbane City Council as the representative of Richlands Ward.

He was not a resident of the ward at the time he announced his candidacy, but announced he would relocate from his home in Clayfield.

He was endorsed by the incumbent prime minister Kevin Rudd.

2012

Dick was deputy leader of the opposition on the council until 2012.

2013

Following Labor's defeat at the 2013 federal election, Dick and Jane Garrett were appointed to lead a review into the party's campaign.

At the time, he publicly requested former prime minister Kevin Rudd to remain in parliament.

2015

In April 2015, Dick announced he would seek preselection for the federal seat of Oxley following the retirement of Bernie Ripoll.

2016

He is a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and has represented the Queensland seat of Oxley in the House of Representatives since the 2016 federal election.

In the council elections of that year, Dick substantially increased the Labor majority with a 13.7% swing in his favour, and he was subsequently made the leader of the opposition, serving in that role until his resignation in 2016.

He was also the opposition spokesman for financial services.

He was endorsed unopposed, and retained Oxley for the ALP at the 2016 federal election.

In July 2022, following the ALP's victory at the 2022 federal election, Dick was nominated as the party's candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives.

He was chosen under a factional deal in which the Right faction would choose the Speaker and the Left faction would choose the President of the Senate.

He defeated Rob Mitchell, the incumbent second deputy speaker, with the support of the Queensland and New South Wales Right factions.

On the first sitting day of parliament, 26 July, he was elected as Speaker by the House, winning with 96 votes to beat the previous speaker Andrew Wallace, who received 56 votes.

In the role, he has been noted for insisting on "safe and respectful" interactions between MPs; a task that political commentator Michelle Grattan has described as "Herculean."

Dick is a member of the Labor Right faction.

2017

After a sponsored visit to Israel in 2017, he stated that "terms that are often bandied around – like settlements, occupation, apartheid and the wall – these are all easy catchphrases and clichés to use, and often there isn't a counterbalance given to a lot of those arguments".

Outside of politics, Dick is an avid supporter of the Brisbane Broncos and Brisbane Lions.

He has maintained the Anglican faith of his childhood, and has opposed moves to remove the Lord's Prayer from Parliamentary proceedings.

2019

After the party's defeat at the 2019 election, he stated that the party needed to "take a stronger and firmer view of talking about resources and the benefits they bring to our economy".

In August 2019 he was one of four Labor MPs to join the Parliamentary Friends of Coal Exports group established by Liberal MP Craig Kelly.

Dick has been described by the Australian Jewish News as a "strong supporter of Israel".
