Hampton was born and raised in Alice Springs. [2] He is of Warlpiri, Afghan, Irish and Scottish descent. [3] He was elected in a 2006 by-election following the resignation of Peter Toyne, and was easily re-elected in 2008. He was widely expected to cruise to re-election in 2012 as well, However, he was defeated by his aunt, Country Liberal Party candidate Bess Price, as part of Labor's collapse in the remote seats at that election. Hampton saw his primary vote more than halved, and ultimately lost to Price on a two-party swing of 18.6 percent. [4]
