Wyatt Roy (born 1990) is an Australian politician. Since August 2010, he has been a Liberal National Party of Queensland member of the Australian House of Representatives, representing the electorate of Longman. At 20 years of age, he is the youngest person ever to be elected to an Australian parliament. Being as Australia's youngest federal MP, he claimed that he is not yet confident enough to claim victory even though he had won 52 per cent of the vote (33,221) in the Queensland seat of Longman.
"We're still not calling it. There are a lot of postal votes to be counted ... it could go either way still," he told ABC radio today.
"The reality is if I am elected I will have to work twice as hard to be considered half as good."
He told the media that people rarely demanded 'age' from the politician. Instead, they would require honesty, integrity and accountability. In addition, they see a good politician as someone who will listen.
As a student in Buderim, his favourite sport is supercars. Also, he likes to go boating with mates during his spare time.
Critique: Hmmm. Quite a good-looking man right? (haha) In fact, he is just elder than us a year. Yet, he is so capable to be elected to an Australian parliament. This proves that age is no longer an impediment or excuse to great success. Everyone has an untapped potential in certain areas of life. It is just a matter of time to let it be unleashed. Believe in yourselves! Have faith.
