With a career spanning over 25 years in law enforcement, government service, and executive leadership, Mr Hardiman has built a reputation for integrity, strategic thinking, and practical problem-solving.

A former Queensland Police Officer, he later served in the Commonwealth Public Service across agencies including Medicare, the ATO, and the ABCC, before taking on leadership roles in the education sector and security industry.

Holding multiple qualifications—including a Bachelor of Justice Studies and diplomas in public safety, government investigations, and OH&S—Mr Hardiman is an expert in compliance, investigations, and risk management. More recently, he has expanded into digital marketing and AI consulting, helping local businesses and education providers harness the power of automation.

As a devoted husband of 28 years and a father of six, Mr Hardiman understands the pressures everyday Australians face.

“We need common-sense solutions in government,” he said.

“Career politicians have let Australians down. It’s time for real people to step up, put our country first, and fight for policies that work—just like Trump is doing in the U.S.”

Committed to bringing his experience and no-nonsense leadership to Canberra, Mr Hardiman is determined to restore accountability, efficiency, and opportunity for Australians.
