Gary Kent
Gary Kent (born 1960) is an Australian political figure. He was President of the Australian Capital Territory Division of the Liberal Party of Australia from 2000 to September 2007. He had previously served for several years as chairman of the party's Central Electorate Branch.
Kent was born in Melbourne and has served as an adviser to several Federal Ministers and is currently a Company Secretary.
Kent was in the center of a controversy in November 2006 after a private email to Steve Pratt MLA was leaked to The Canberra Times. The email warned Pratt about his behavior "You are heading into dangerous territory here mate, you and your colleagues should take a deep breath and divorce yourself from the muckraking." Kent has been closely linked to former Liberal MLA Richard Mulcahy MLA[1], who resigned from the ACT Liberal Party after being expelled from the party room.
Kent was a Liberal candidate for the Molonglo electorate at the 2008 territory election, but was unsuccessful.
