Thomas Emerson (born 1993) is an Australian politician who is currently a member for the seat of Kurrajong in the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly. He is the leader and co-founder of Independents for Canberra.[2]

Early life

From the age of 16, Emerson spent seven years with chronic hip, lower back and shoulder problems.[3] After graduating with a philosophy degree from the Australian National University (ANU) in 2017, he founded Praksis, a Canberra-based movement studio.[4][5]

Political career

During the 2022 federal election, Emerson volunteered for independent candidate David Pocock.[6] After Pocock was successful in his election as an ACT senator, Emerson began to work for him as an advisor.[6][7]

In January 2024, Emerson co-founded Independents for Canberra (IFC) ahead of the 2024 ACT election.[8] On 31 May, IFC announced Emerson and Sara Poguet as the party's lead candidates for the electorate of Kurrajong.[9] Emerson, along with Fiona Carrick (who contested with her own Fiona Carrick Independent party) became the first independents elected to the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly in 23 years.[10][11]

Personal life

Emerson's father is Craig Emerson, who served as the federal Minister for Small Business and Minister for Trade and Competitiveness in the Rudd-Gillard government.[12]
