Demetrios "Demetri" Dollis (Greek: Δημήτρης Δόλλης; born 19 May 1956 in Argos Orestiko) is a former Australian politician of Greek descent and a former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Greece under the Cabinets of George Papandreou and Coalition Cabinet of Lucas Papademos. He was a Labor member for Richmond in the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1988 to 1999, and Victorian Deputy Leader of the Opposition from 1994 to 1997.^[1]

Career[]

Dollis was elected at the 1988 Victorian State election. In 1994, Dollis, who was from the Left faction, was elected deputy leader of the ALP as part of a factional deal that saved ALP leader John Brumby from being ousted in an attempted leadership coup.^[2]

In 1999, Dollis was disendorsed by the ALP in light of his time spent abroad.^[3]^[4] Dollis had become involved in helping to free Australian CARE workers imprisoned in Yugoslavia, and was unable to respond to allegations he was seeking a job from the Greek government.^[5]

Following his departure from Victorian politics, Dollis took up roles on Greek diplomatic circuit.^[4] In 2010 Dollis was appointed as a Greek Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs^[6]^[7] alongside Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou, a role held until June 2012 when the Coalition Cabinet of Antonis Samaras was sworn in.
