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 where he was succeeded by Trent Zimmerman who had previously worked for Hockey as a staffer. He was announced on 8 December 2015 to become the next Ambassador of Australia to the United States when Kim Beazley's term ended in early 2016. Joe Hockey became Australian Ambassador to the US on 29 January 2016.

Early life and career

Hockey was born in North Sydney to an Armenian father, Richard (born in Bethlehem, Mandatory Palestine), 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.

(Hello?
Hey, it's me.

Everybody, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon

You gotta go where your soul is free
