Jonathan Huston

Biography Huston attended Aquinas College and the Royal Military College Duntroon. He served in the Australian Army Intelligence Corps, rising to the rank of major. After leaving the military, Huston worked in the private sector including ventures such as the Tint A Car, Parkside Towbars, and Croissant Express chains.

Views Huston has stated he was an "on and off" member of the Liberals before his candidacy. He previously left the Liberal Party in protest of rising debt levels under the government of Colin Barnett, and identifies as economically dry.

Huston departed the parliamentary Liberal Party on 25 June 2026 to sit as an independent. He stated his departure was motivated by a desire to pursue increased mining royalties to fund a sovereign wealth fund and the abolition of payroll tax for the state. He claimed that despite his opposition to the ferry terminal, he is not a NIMBY. He opposes the AUKUS security partnership, arguing that stationing nuclear submarines at HMAS Stirling would make the area an appealing military target.

Huston describes himself as a "soft Catholic".
