About Mal
Mal Hingston is the Liberal candidate for Braddon.
Mal’s family has a long-held history in Northern Tasmania going back to 1842, when three brothers arrived from England.
Mal grew up in Latrobe with his three sisters, where the family home welcomed numerous foster children over a period of 35 years. He still lives in Latrobe with his partner Raquel.
Having left school at 15 to undertake a trade, Mal later studied part time to complete a degree in Mechanical Engineering while working as a Mechanical Designer at Elphinstone’s in Burnie.
Since 2003, Mal has held key positions in the mining, civil, and defence industries delivering infrastructure all over Australia. More recently he has focused on project recovery of distressed projects.
Mal knows how to get things done. He will use his experience to continue the great work of Gavin Pearce supporting industry and delivering for the local community.
Mal holds a pilot’s licence and enjoys a typical Saturday at local Park Runs around the state.
