Peter George

Peter George is a former ABC foreign correspondent & Four Corners reporter with over four decades dedicated to uncovering the truth and holding the powerful to account. From his early days as a reporter in Hobart to covering Federal Parliament and international stories, Peter’s career has focused on giving a voice to everyday people facing adversity.

He’s worked with his southern Tasmanian community for the past 14 years, particularly in fighting the environmental damage caused by the multinational salmon corporations.

Driven by a deep passion for Tasmania’s future, Peter is committed to fighting corporate greed and championing environmental justice, climate action and political integrity. His platform is centred on bringing people-first leadership to the region, and achieving real change for the community and the environment. Peter carried the momentum from his insurgent 2025 Federal campaign to victory in the 2025 Tasmanian state election.
