Scott Buchholz is an Australian politician who has been a member of the House of Representatives since the 2010 federal election, representing the Division of Wright in Queensland. He is a member of the Liberal National Party of Queensland, and sits with the Liberal Party in federal parliament.
Prior to entering politics, Mr Buchholz served as chief of staff to Queensland Senator Barnaby Joyce and was a director of CQX Group of Transport Companies for 18 years.
He won pre-selection for the unwinnable sixth spot on the Liberal/National Senate ticket in Queensland at the 2007 election. At the 2010 election, he won LNP pre-selection for the safe seat of Wright, and was elected. Mr Buchholz was appointed the Chief Government Whip in the House of Representatives on 13 February 2015. He was removed from the position in September 2015, shortly after Malcolm Turnbull replaced Tony Abbott as prime minister.
In August 2018, Mr Buchholz was appointed Assistant Minister for Roads and Freight Transport under the Morrison government. He relinquished his ministerial portfolio in May 2022 following the defeat of the Liberal Party at the federal election.
