Chris Ketter


Christopher Ronald Ketter is a former Australian politician who represented Queensland for the Australian Labor Party in the Australian Senate from 1 July 2014, elected at the 2013 election, until 30 June 2019.
Ketter is linked with the conservative Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association. Ketter was one of only two Labor Senators to vote against the Marriage Amendment Act 2017, which legalised same-sex marriage in Australia. Ketter was placed second on Labor's Queensland Senate ticket at the 2019 federal election and failed to get re-elected, after the party suffered a swing against it to the Liberal National Party, One Nation and the Greens. His term expired on 30 June 2019.
