InfoThistlethwaite grew up in Maroubra, went to school in Pagewood and attended the University of NSW in Kensington where he studied economics before going on to become a lawyer. He has been an active surf lifesaver for 28 years, served four years as President of Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club and served as President of the Maroubra PCYC. He has also been deeply involved with the Labor Party at all levels. A former President of NSW Young Labor 1997-98, he tried to succeed Laurie Brereton as MP but was stymied when Brereton engineered Peter Garrett's entry to politics. Thistlethwaite went on to become the NSW Labor Party State Secretary 2008-10, but lost support for first helping then Premier Nathan Rees win the power to appoint his own ministry, and then backing Frank Sartor rather than Kristina Keneally to succeed Rees. Thistlethwaite was appointed to the NSW Senate ticket for the 2010 election and served in the Senate from July 2011 until resigning to contest and win Kingsford Smith at the 2013 election.
