John Ruddick MLC

John Ruddick was elected to the NSW Legislative Council in 2023. His maiden speech to the NSW parliament made international headlines when it was banned from YouTube after John questioned Australia's draconian response to COVID. Never before in Australian history has a politician's maiden speech to parliament been banned. 

Prior to parliament, John owned a property finance business based on Sydney’s North Shore. He is an avid reader, a student of history, and often contributes to Spectator Australia and Sky News Australia. In 2018 he wrote a book titled, "Make the Liberal Party Great Again" but decided to join the Libertarian Party during the Liberal Party’s overreaction to COVID.
