Steve Dickson

Steve Dickson is a former Queensland state politician who represented Kawana and Buderim. He entered the legislative assembly as a Liberal in 2006, represented the Liberal National Party after its formation in 2008 and served as a state minister from 2012 to 2015. His parliamentary career therefore crossed two seats and three party labels.

Dickson joined Pauline Hanson's One Nation in January 2017 and became its Queensland leader later that month. He lost Buderim at the November state election and later stood for the Australian Senate. He resigned from One Nation in April 2019 after television broadcast footage from an undercover Al Jazeera operation. Dickson apologised for his behaviour and said he took responsibility.
