Joe Hockey
Joseph Benedict "Joe" Hockey (born 2 August 1965) is a former Australian politician who was the Member of Parliament for North Sydney from 1996 until 2015. He was the Treasurer of Australia in the Abbott Government from 18 September 2013 until September 2015 when he resigned from Cabinet, having refused an alternative offer from the incoming Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. He previously served as the Minister for Human Services and Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations in the Howard Government.
Hockey's parliamentary resignation triggered a 2015 North Sydney by-election scheduled for 5 December. He is expected to become the next Ambassador of Australia to the United States when Kim Beazley's term ends in December 2015.〔(Trent Zimmerman preselected for Joe Hockey's safe Liberal seat of North Sydney: SMH 26 October 2015 )〕〔(2015 North Sydney by-election: Antony Green ABC )〕
==Early life and career==
Hockey was born in North Sydney to a Bethlehem-born Armenian-Palestinian father, Richard, and an Australian mother, Beverley. He has three elder siblings. His father's original surname, Hokeidonian, was anglicised to "Hockey" in 1948 after arriving in Australia.〔〔(Past campaigns give heart to Hockey ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 30 June 2007〕
Hockey attended St Aloysius' College, Milson's Point and the University of Sydney, residing at St John's College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws. While at university he was President of the University of Sydney Students' Representative Council, and assisted in inviting Pope John Paul II to visit the University of Sydney during the 1986 Australian papal visit. In 1987, Hockey protested at Bob Hawke's introduction of university fees. Hockey's term as SRC president, besides the protests, included the renovation of the club's headquarters, a cutback on the expenses of ''Honi Soit'', the closure of the SRC Women's Room, but the opening of a free legal advice service. Towards the end of his term as SRC President, Labor's Deputy Prime Minister Lionel Bowen phoned Hockey and invited him to join the ALP. Hockey researched the philosophies of John Stuart Mill and decided to join the Liberal party. Upon graduating, Hockey worked as a banking and finance lawyer at Corrs Chambers Westgarth and subsequently as the Director of Policy to the Premier of New South Wales, before entering politics.
