Highly respected legal expert Raymond Broomhall has been named the Trumpet of Patriots candidate for the federal seat of Bass in Tasmania, bringing a powerful voice for accountability, justice and common sense to Canberra.

A practicing Barrister-at-Law, Ray specialises in environmental health, human rights, privacy, industrial relations and administrative law, with particular experience in COVID-19 mandate challenges, windfarm and renewable energy disputes, and telecommunications policy.

“The role of government is to serve the people not to rule over them. It’s time the bureaucrats and politicians were reminded of that,” Ray said.

Throughout his career, Ray has built a reputation for holding governments to account and pushing back against overreach, championing laws that genuinely protect and benefit the public while opposing those that diminish freedom or transparency.

“We need strong voices in Parliament who understand how the system works and how to fix it when it breaks,” he said.

“Australia doesn’t need more career politicians. It needs watchdogs with backbone, and that’s exactly what I plan to be.”

Ray is standing with Trumpet of Patriots because he believes in restoring common sense to government and delivering policies that truly serve Australian, especially Tasmanians who have long been overlooked by the major parties.
