About Hon Wayne Swan MP
The Hon. Wayne Swan MP Federal - Member for Lilley and Federal Treasurer (Bachelor of Arts (Hons) degree from the University of Queensland) was sworn in as the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Australia following Labor's sweeping election victory on 24 November 2007.
Born in Nambour Qld, he grew up on the Sunshine Coast and now lives in Brisbane with his wife an three children. Prior to entering Parliament he had many jobs and was involved in all areas of community and public life. He chaired Labor's Caucus Economics Committee from 1993 to 1996. He was the State Secretary of the Queensland Branch of the Australia Labor Party and campaign director for Wayne Goss' historic election victories in 1989 and 1992. He was the Shadow Minister for Family and Community Services from 1998 to 2004 before becoming Labor's Shadow Treasurer from 2004.
In 2005 he published a book called Postcode which tells a story about how our society has become a patchwork quilt of winners and losers across all our postcodes. "I wrote it because it's clear to me that it has become harder and harder for people of humble origins, or living humbly, to have their voices heard in our country's political and policy debate."
During his time in Federal Parliament he has been associated, in particular, with reform of the tax and transfer payments system; labour market participation; climate change; ageing and population policy; and standing up for the disadvantaged. His twin objectives in public life have always been to create prosperity so we can spread opportunity. The most important thing - apart from the essentials of life: food, shelter and clothing - is to have good relationships within your family and within your community. And the best way to make sure that everyone has the chance to be well looked after by a loving family is to have strong communities. A shared sense of responsibility for one another is what makes communities strong, and builds the foundations of a fair and vibrant society.
