Early years and background

Toole is one of nine children raised by Trevor and Ellen Toole, of Peel, a village outside Bathurst, in the central west of New South Wales. Toole's father was a thrice-unsuccessful candidate for state and federal political office, representing the National Party at the 1984 and 1995 state elections for Bathurst and the 1996 federal election, for Calare. Paul Toole's grandfather, Jack Toole, was an unsuccessful Liberal candidate at 1956 state election, also for Bathurst.{{cite news |url=http://www.westernadvocate.com.au/news/local/news/general/rising-son-this-ones-for-you-dad/2116634.aspx |title=Rising son: this one's for you, Dad |work=Western Advocate |date=29 March 2011 |access-date=2 April 2011 }} Two of Toole's brothers were jailed in 2012 for running a major drug syndicate in Newcastle,{{Cite web |date=2012-09-12 |title=Lengthy jail time for MP's siblings |url=https://www.westernadvocate.com.au/story/327101/lengthy-jail-time-for-mps-siblings/ |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=Western Advocate |language=en-AU}}{{Cite web |date=2012-09-12 |title=MP's brothers jailed over drugs |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/mps-brothers-jailed-over-drugs-20120912-25t2j.html |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}} and sentenced to seven and nine years in prison.

Political career

In 1995, Toole was elected a councillor to Evans Shire Council. Evans was amalgamated with Bathurst to create the Bathurst Regional Council in 2005. He was elected to the new Council that year, filling the post of deputy mayor.

Paul became mayor in 2007.

On 30 October 2010, Toole was the sole nominee that sought and gained endorsement by the National Party as the candidate for the state seat of Bathurst.{{cite press release |author=Stoner, Andrew |url=http://www.andrewstoner.com.au/news/latest-news/bathurst-mayor-paul-toole-to-put-an-end-to-labor-s-neglect.html |title=Bathurst Mayor Paul Toole to put an end to Labor's neglect |author-link=Andrew Stoner |publisher=National Party |date=30 October 2010 |access-date=2 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110410090855/http://www.andrewstoner.com.au/news/latest-news/bathurst-mayor-paul-toole-to-put-an-end-to-labor-s-neglect.html |archive-date=10 April 2011 }} At the March 2011 elections, Toole was elected and recorded a swing of 36.3 points – almost unheard of in Australian politics – in the traditionally Labor seat, winning 74.8% of the two-party vote{{cite news |url=http://www.westernadvocate.com.au/news/local/news/general/paul-toole-wins-seat-of-bathurst/2115141.aspx |title=Paul Toole wins seat of Bathurst |work=Western Advocate |date=26 March 2011 |access-date=2 April 2011 }} Toole's main competitor was Labor's Dale Turner; and his election followed the retirement of Labor member, Gerard Martin.{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/state-election-2011/batthurst-residents-historic-swing-his-alone-20110328-1cdip.html |author=Stevenson, Andrew |title=Bathurst resident's historic swing his alone |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=29 March 2011 |access-date=2 April 2011 }} Toole picked up enough of a swing to turn Bathurst from safe Labor to safe National in one stroke.

Following his election to state parliament, Toole announced his decision to immediately retire from teaching and step down as Mayor in September 2011. He stated that he will remain on Council until the 2012 local government elections.{{cite news |url=http://www.westernadvocate.com.au/news/local/news/general/career-change-for-our-new-mp/2116635.aspx?storypage=0 |author=Eddy, Louise |title=Career change for our new MP |work=Western Advocate |date=29 March 2011 |access-date=2 April 2011 }}
