Name: Matthew Collins
Age: 36
Ideology: Liberal
Place of Birth: Vaucluse, NSW
Constituency: Wentworth
Occupation: Media proprieter
Family: Wife Melissa (32)
Brief Biography: Heir to his family's media empire, Collins took control of the company at the young age of 27 when his father decided to retire in order to spend more time with his mother. Despite earning the ire of many Liberal interest groups and old monied families, perhaps most notably, Edward Lloyd, with his companies' propensity to present a message reflective of Collins' beliefs (and his father's before)- including secularism and environmentalism, with mining and oil corporations being frequent targets, Collins' advocacy for a new direction made a popular rising star for the moderate and socially progressive elements of the Liberal National Party. He is in his second term and his ties to the largest media company in the country has enabled him to rise quickly within the party's caucus despite some high-profile disagreements with the party establishment.
Other: One of the youngest members of Parliament, Collins and his wife frequently appear at celebrity events, on television and magazine covers and a large media presence- likely due to Collins' own media prominence before being elected. Detractors have referred to Collins as an "attention whore".

In spite of accusations that the Collins family's media corporation has used their platform to push a political agenda, the company has remained nonpartisan for nearly all purposes. Collins' brands hold the most news viewership on television and the largest circulation for newspapers as well.

Collins is an avid fan of the outdoors and frequently enjoys hiking and enjoying the beauty of the ocean.

Since we have to have a leader elected soon ("election" is scheduled for next weekend, and we need to formulate policies and select a frontbench between then and now), I would suggest that Talleyrand and myself both write a speech of 1000 words or less in the next 24 hours and then we have a leadership ballot.

Sounds like a great idea!
