Francis Xavier Kurrupuwu

Francis Xavier Kurrupuwu (born 10 June 1961; also known as Maralampuwi Kurrupuwu) is an Australian politician. He has been a member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly since the 2012 territory election. He currently represents the Country Liberal Party; he was originally elected for that party, left to sit as an independent in April 2014, briefly joined the Palmer United Party, before returning to the CLP in September 2014.
Kurrupuwu was born in Nguiu on Bathurst Island, the smaller of the two main Tiwi Islands. He was named Francis Xavier (after Bishop Francis Xavier Gsell, who had established a Catholic mission on the island in 1911) by Sister Anne Gardiner.〔(CLP Taskforce Report Issue 20 ), Country Liberal Party, March 2012.〕 A staunch Catholic, he has worked with the Church for over thirty years, and is also manager of the Australian Red Cross on the islands. He has also held many local government roles, including
President and Deputy Chair of the Nguiu Community Council, a member on the ATSIC regional council, Deputy Chair of the Tiwi Land Council and a councillor in the Tiwi Islands Shire.〔Green, Antony: (Arafura (Key Seat) ), ''NT Votes 2012'' (ABC), 2012.〕
Kurrupuwu once stood for Labor preselection, but switched sides to the Country Liberals after losing faith in progressive politics, in particular what he called Labor's "condescending" policies towards Aboriginal people. At the 2012 general election, he defeated former AFL footballer Dean Rioli who was the Labor candidate for Arafura—both men are related to former member and footballer Maurice Rioli. In April 2014, Kurrupuwu was one of three indigenous MPs (alongside Alison Anderson and Larisa Lee) who resigned from the Country Liberal Party and sat as independents. The three MPs joined Palmer United later that month, with Anderson becoming the party's parliamentary leader.〔AAP (27 April 2014). ("Clive Palmer says rebel NT indigenous MPs to defect to PUP" ) – ''The Australian''. Retrieved 27 April 2014.〕〔Matthew Knott and Gareth Hutchens (27 April 2014). ("Clive Palmer aims for NT balance of power" ) – ''The Sydney Morning Herald''. Retrieved 27 April 2014.〕 In September 2014, Kurrupuwu resigned from PUP and re-joined the Country Liberal Party.
