William John "Billy" Gordon is an Australian politician. He has been the Labor member for Cook in the Queensland Legislative Assembly since 2015. Gordon is one of the first indigenous members in a generation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MP Billy Gordon is the man who could crash the Queensland government )〕 In 2015, tip offs to the media led to Gordon publicly disclosing a criminal history dating back to the 1980s that he had not disclosed to his colleagues〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billy Gordon: Queensland Labor thrown into turmoil after Cook MP admits to undisclosed criminal history )〕 including driving offences, break and entering offences, breach of bail and probation, and an apprehended violence order taken out by his mother. Gordon’s former de facto partner has accused him of domestic violence and routinely not filing tax returns to avoid child support payments to his five children. In response Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk expelled Gordon from the Labor caucus, and has asked the state party's organisational wing to have Gordon expelled from the party altogether. Although Palaszczuk was well aware that the loss of Cook could potentially put her premiership in jeopardy, she said that given the circumstances, she had no other choice.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk expels Cook MP Billy Gordon over criminal record )〕 In September 2015, Queensland Police dropped the domestic violence charges against Gordon, citing insufficient evidence to prosecute. On the same day, police charged a woman with extortion for allegedly attempting to blackmail Gordon by claiming he had sent her an explicit image by SMS. ==References== 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「Billy Gordon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
