Your Strong Voice for Townsville
Phillip Thompson, your Federal Member for Herbert
Phillip served as a soldier of the Townsville-based First Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, with the core values of protecting the Australian way of life, freedom of speech, family and reward for effort - all characteristics which Phillip proudly carries in his day-to-day life.
Phillip served in East Timor and Afghanistan, and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 where he was wounded in action when an Improvised Explosive Device detonated within one metre of him.
