Barry James O'Sullivan (born 24 March 1957), Australian politician, was appointed a member of the Australian Senate for the state of Queensland on 11 February 2014, representing the Liberal National Party (LNP). A former police detective, grazier, property developer and LNP executive treasurer, O'Sullivan was appointed by the Queensland Parliament to the Senate seat vacated by Barnaby Joyce, who had resigned to contest the House of Representatives seat of New England at the 2013 federal election.〔Remeikis, Amy: (LNP's Barry O'Sullivan headed for Senate ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 12 September 2013.〕 ==Background and early police career== O'Sullivan was educated at St Joseph's Wandal Convent and the Christina Brother College (now Cathedral College) at Rockhampton. Upon leaving school, he was employed as an office boy at the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin and the Longreach Leader newspapers before joining a road construction crew building the Beef Development Road from the Five Ways north of Cloncurry to the Gregory River Crossing. O'Sullivan joined the Queensland police in 1976. His career commenced in Brisbane serving in Inala, the City Beat, the Metro CIB the Burglary Unit, the Fraud Squad and the Drug Squad. In 1979 he transferred to the Rockhampton Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and in 1981 moved to the Moranbah CIB (a one-man detective office) serving the police districts of Nebo, Glenden, Dysart, Moranbah, the eastern end of the Clermont district and the southern end of the Charters Towers District. O'Sullivan was provided a research grant to attend the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations National Academy to study the profiling of serial offenders. At the end of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, O'Sullivan was appointed as one of the Queensland "change" agents to implement the recommendations in the Central Police Region, which stretched from Bowen to Gladstone and across to the Northern Territory border. He was appointed Acting Staff Officer to the Assistant Commissioner in the central region, having the responsibility of supervising the project that restructured the framework of the Queensland Police Service in line with the Fitzgerald recommendations. In 1990 O'Sullivan worked with the Corrective Services Commission by the Queensland Public Service to facilitate the implementation of the recommendations from the Black Deaths in Custody Royal Commission and the Kennedy Review into Queensland prisons. Over some 15 years of police service, O'Sullivan was awarded – two imperial honours (Bronze medal for Bravery, the Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal); a Commissioner's Commendation for Bravery, an additional Commissioner's Commendation for Service and two Commissioner's Favourable Records. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barry O'Sullivan (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
