Timeline
Peter Edward Besseling (born 8 March 1970) is an Australian politician.
Besseling played 15 games for the NSW Waratahs from 2000 to 2001 and is a former second-rower and 1999 Ken Catchpole Medallist.
This was a significant drop from Oakeshott's last victory in 2007; at the time of his resignation, Oakeshott sat on a majority of 28.2 percent, the safest in the Legislative Assembly.
Alby Schultz, the Liberal Member for Hume, was seen campaigning a few times for Besseling, referring to him as "the pick of the candidates".
Similar support was provided by Bill Heffernan, a Liberal Senator, sparking anger and resentment within the federal coalition.
Besseling served as Member for Port Macquarie between 2008 and 2011.
Besseling is now General Manager at Birdon Pty Ltd.
Prior to entering politics, he was a professional rugby union player.
Besseling was elected as an independent member in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for the seat of Port Macquarie; winning the seat in a 2008 by-election.
The seat came open when the former member, independent Rob Oakeshott, resigned to make an ultimately successful run for the federal seat of Lyne.
Besseling worked as a political adviser for his sometime rugby teammate Oakeshott for the previous three years.
Besseling won the seat with 35.9 percent of the primary vote and 54.5 percent of the two-party vote.
It is suggested that his defeat was due to his association with Oakeshott, whose support kept the federal Labor government in office after the 2010 federal election.
Port Macquarie had always been considered a National heartland, and had been a comfortably safe National seat in "traditional" two-party matchups with Labor even when Oakeshott held it without serious difficulty as an independent.
"Besseling's re-election campaign struck controversy when oil from his campaign bus caused an accident on the Oxley Highway that resulted in three people being seriously injured."
While police investigations were inconclusive, it was believed that sabotage was the most likely cause for the missing sump plug that caused the leak.
The political environment was very heated at the time.
Following his failure to win re-election, Besseling recommenced employment as a political advisor, working in the office of Rob Oakeshott.
In 2011 Besseling lost his seat to National Party candidate Leslie Williams, suffering a swing of 11 percent.
Besseling was the Mayor of Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, from 8 September 2012 to 8 May 2017, as an independent.
In 2012, Besseling was directly elected as Mayor; and secured three other Councillors to the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council on his independent election ticket.
Besseling was reelected Mayor in September 2016, but then resigned in May 2017 to become General Manager at Birdon Pty Ltd. The subsequent by-election was won by Peta Pinson.
