'''Robert Edward Borbidge''' {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AO}} (born 12 August 1954) is a former Australian politician who served as the 35th [[Premier of Queensland]] from 1996 to 1998. He was the leader of the [[Queensland]] branch of the [[National Party of Australia – Queensland|National Party]], and was the last member of that party to serve as premier. His term as premier was contemporaneous with the rise of the [[One Nation Party]] of [[Pauline Hanson]], which would see him lose office within two years.
