Meet Tim

Prior to entering Parliament, Tim Bull was a newspaper editor.    

Tim was prompted to run for Parliament because of the lack of disability services in his region and his belief that a strong voice was needed in Parliament.    

The main passions and priorities Tim has as a member of Parliament is to represent his region to the best of his ability, stand up for regional Victoria and represent his portfolio areas as a Minister and now Shadow Minister.
