Mick Harrington - Leading change through music and politics
Mick Harrington grew up amongst the picturesque farming communities of East Gippsland, Victoria where he has established himself as a successful small business owner and decorated musician.
Having worked in a variety of roles in the agricultural, retail, journalism and native timber industries, Mick is passionate about regional and remote Australia including the need for communities to access quality healthcare and affordable housing, alongside gainful employment and quality training.
While life has certainly changed for Mick in recent times, after gaining the admiration of the nation on TV show "The Voice", Mick is usually more comfortable working in hi-vis and boots than he is stepping on stage to perform for his fans.
A passionate voice for his rural community, Mick is strong believer in the need for improved rural and regional infrastructure and he strongly supports primary industries within Victoria.
Mick is regularly seen popping up at many community events offering his help to raise much needed funds and loves the passion for community that rural people express. He is also a volunteer and long time committee member at Lindenow South football netball club.
When he isn't on-stage or operating his business, Mick loves to watch his beloved Geelong Cats and spend time playing at the park with his daughters Bella, Katie and Niamh or exploring his local countryside.
