He was born on 19 February 1943 in Cairns Australia, to David Pollack, a Scottish laborer, and Victoria Llewellyn Pollack, the daughter of a Welsh mine worker. He attended Cairns State High School and the University of Queensland, where he recieved a degree in law. In 1974 he emigrated to Ibagli, and took up a job as a solicitor for the Ibaglian Railway and Maritime Workers Union. He was made a Queen's Counsel in 1983.

in 1989 he stood for election for the Liberal Party in the district of Haphonia-St. Edwards, the site of the nearly derelict Port of Haphonia. In 2003 he was appointed to be the Shadow Minister of Labour. During the McNeese administration he was the Minister of Labour. In December 2005 he challenged Anthony Kinder for the leadership of the Liberal Party. On 1 January 2006 he was nearly unanimously elected to that position, just weeks before a general election.
