John Anderson is a sixth-generation farmer and grazier from New South Wales, who spent 19 years from 1989 in the Australian Parliament. He served as a senior Cabinet minister in the reformist government led by John Howard (1996 to 2005), one of the most successful governments in Australian parliamentary history. This included six years as Leader of the National Party and Deputy Prime Minister. The Liberal-National Party coalition, with Anderson integral in the process, tackled budget repair and promoted economic growth. Much-needed tax modernization and shrewd expenditure restraint were among the measures that helped deliver a string of ten out of twelve budget surpluses; unprecedented in the post-war era. They delivered an average annual GDP growth rate of 3.6%, restored Australia’s AAA credit rating, and saw average household income double between 1994-95 and 2007-08.During their tenure over two million new jobs were created by small and large businesses, and the total number of apprentices in training increased by two-and-a-half-fold.
