About the speaker
Susan Templeman MP has been the federal member for Macquarie since 2016. In 2022, she was appointed Special Envoy for the Arts by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the new Labor Government. In this role, she has worked closely with the Minister for the Arts, Tony Burke, to formulate and implement a cultural policy that revives the arts sector and shapes its future.
As Special Envoy for the Arts, she has advocated for the arts community and highlighted the benefits that creativity can bring to Australians’ wellbeing, education, and sense of connectedness. She recognises the power of self-determination in First Nations cultural expression as a force for positive change in Australia. She believes that all Australians should have the opportunity to share and see their stories through cultural expression.
Both before and since becoming a Member of Parliament, Susan has spoken out on issues such as school, TAFE and university funding, support for local businesses and for fairness, and equality and opportunity for the many, not the few.
Prior to her election, Ms Templeman worked as a journalist for a decade before going into business as a media coach and trainer.
She lives in the Blue Mountains, outside Sydney, with her husband, Ron.
