A senior public leader with extensive experience in government, governance and economic policy. Having served in roles such as Leader of the Opposition, Speaker of the House of Assembly and as a past Cabinet Minister, I bring strong strategic leadership, and a deep understanding of policy, regulation and industry development.
I have worked closely with business leaders, regional communities and export-focused industries, giving me a practical appreciation of the importance of markets to Australia's prosperity. I have a strong interest in the growth and promotion of premium Australian wine. I am the current President of the SA Parliamentary Wine Club. I am known for my collaborative approach, and bring experience in board-level decision making, stakeholder engagement and long term strategy. I am committed to supporting the growth, reputation and global competitiveness of the Australian wine industry.
