Challenges for leadership

Less than a month later, however, the dominant Right faction withdrew support from Rees. On 3 December, Keneally narrowly defeated Sartor by two votes to become the Right's candidate in a leadership spill against Rees. Later that day, she defeated Rees in a party room ballot with a majority of 45–21. [35] Prior to the vote, Rees declared "Should I not be Premier at the end of this day, let there be no doubt in the community's mind that any challenger would be a puppet of Eddie Obeid and Joe Tripodi ", [36] a claim later rejected by Keneally, who stated "I am nobody's puppet, I am nobody's protege, I am nobody's girl." [37]

On 4 December 2009 Keneally was sworn in as the 42nd (and first female) premier of New South Wales by the State Governor, Marie Bashir. [38] For the first time in Australian history, both the Premier and Deputy Premier (Carmel Tebbutt) of a state were women.

During her time as Premier Keneally was a supporter of the development of the Barangaroo headlands. To ensure the project was completed without delay, Keneally transferred various local government planning powers to the state government, [39] created a new portfolio relating to the major development Barangaroo for which she took responsibility, [39] and oversaw the project while Premier. Despite her dedication to the project she was criticised for a perceived conflict of interest in the development of Barangaroo worth over one million dollars and linked to installation of electric car infrastructure associated with the development [40] [41] and additionally for giving exemption to Barangaroo from environmental planning laws. [39] In the eve of her time as premier, during investigations into corrupt dealings by former minister Ian Macdonald, Keneally refused to release a report made about him relating to misuse of taxpayer funds, though she was compelled to release the report to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). [42]

Party renewal

Keneally pushed to renew the Labor Party, with 23 members of the 50 caucus members retiring. [43] Her push also included the resignation of the NSW Labor President, Bernie Riordan [44] and retirements of Labor powerbrokers, Joe Tripodi [45] and Eddie Obeid. [46]

Electricity privatisation

On 14 December 2010 her government sold the first tranche of the partial privatisation of the state's electricity assets for $5.3 billion. [47] Eight of the directors quit in protest over the sale of trading rights to the output of generators. [48] After criticism of the privatisation, her Government abandoned the second stage of its electricity privatisation plan, as no companies bid. [49]

On 22 December 2010 NSW Governor Marie Bashir prorogued Parliament on Keneally's request. This act normally takes place later than December prior to elections. [50] There were accusations that Keneally tried to halt the electricity inquiry, which later proceeded. [51]

In October 2011, the inquiry which the O'Farrell government set up reported to the NSW Liberal/National Government that the partial sale was "reasonable and appropriate". [52]

Popularity

When she became Premier, she was highly popular and was the most popular Australian political leader at one stage, as the Galaxy poll showed in March 2010, her public satisfaction of her was 53 per cent. [53] However, her own personal popularity did not transfer to her party, which had been well behind the Coalition in opinion polling since 2008.

With her governments popularity declining, Keneally’s personal popularity began to decline too, with her approval rating falling to 39 per cent in an August 2010 poll. [54] In October 2010, Newspoll reported that the Keneally government only had 23 per cent of the primary vote—the worst showing on record for a Labor government at the state level in Australia. The only lower result Newspoll had recorded at the time was in 1989, when the Queensland Nationals polled at 22 percent. [55]

In May 2010, junior minister Karyn Paluzzano was forced out of politics for using public money for her 2007 reelection campaign and lying about it. Keneally moved to have Paluzzano suspended from the Labor Party, and Paluzzano resigned soon afterward. [56] It was not enough to prevent Paluzzano's once-safe seat of Penrith from being resoundingly lost to the Liberals at the ensuing by-election. Labor suffered a swing of over 26 points—the largest swing against a sitting government in New South Wales history. [57]

Election defeat

Keneally led Labor into the 2011 state election. She was seeking to lead Labor to a fifth consecutive term in government, and also to become the second woman elected as a state premier in her own right, after Anna Bligh in Queensland.

However, Keneally was a heavy underdog for most of the campaign. At one point, polls showed Labor trailed the Barry O'Farrell-led Coalition by 26 points on the two-party vote [58] and Keneally trailed O'Farrell by 16 points as preferred premier. [59] Despite Keneally's efforts to rehabilitate Labor's image, opinion polls and commentators had almost universally written Labor off by the time the writs were dropped. An election-eve poll showed Labor's support at a record low of 23 percent primary vote. [60] The ABC's Antony Green estimated that Labor faced being cut down to as few as 13 seats.

In the 26 March election, the Labor government was heavily defeated, suffering a swing of over 16 points on a two-party basis —the largest in a general election at any level in Australia since World War II. In the process, Labor lost many seats in its former western Sydney heartland. [61] Ultimately, Labor was reduced to 20 seats (down from 48 at dissolution), its worst showing in over a century.

Keneally resigned as Premier and state Labor leader on election night and announced she would return to the backbench. Accepting responsibility for the worst defeat of a sitting government in NSW's history, Keneally said, "The truth is the people of NSW, who entrusted us with government for 16 years, did not leave us. We left them." [62] On 11 June 2011, Keneally was granted by the Governor retention of the title "The Honourable". [63] On 23 June 2012, Keneally announced her resignation from the New South Wales Parliament. [64]

Labor government and ICAC

After the defeat of the Labor government, a series of investigations at the Independent Commission Against Corruption, found that Keneally ministers Obeid, Tripodi, and McDonald had acted in a corrupt manner. [65] [66] [67] Counsel assisting the inquiry, Geoffrey Watson SC , said in 2012 of investigations into the actions taken by the men in 2010 that these inquiries were the most important investigation ever undertaken by the ICAC and that there was corruption on a scale probably unexceeded since the days of the Rum Corps. [68]

Keneally appeared as a witness at the ICAC in March 2014 concerning investigations of her former colleagues. She said that she had had concerns about Obeid, Tripodi and Tony Kelly's lobbying and that their efforts had not influenced her. Asked if Obeid had "put her in her job" as premier, Keneally replied: "No, caucus did". [69]

Private sector

Sporting roles

In 2011, Keneally became a director of Souths Cares, the nominated charity of the South Sydney Rabbitohs [70] [71] [72] and Chair of the Basketball Australia board. [73] She resigned from Parliament on 29 June 2012, to commence work as the Chief Executive of Basketball Australia. [74] Keneally left Basketball Australia in April 2014 to spend more time with her family. [75] In 2016, she was named as Chairperson of Souths Cares following incumbent Chairman Nicholas Pappas stepping aside after eight years. [72]

Political commentator and television host

In 2014, Keneally began a career as a media presenter. In May, she spent a week filling in for Ita Buttrose on panel show Studio 10. [76] In July, Keneally joined Sky News Australia and began co-hosting panel program The Contrarians every Friday afternoon with Ross Cameron, before the pair were given their own self-titled program Keneally and Cameron . [77] This program was axed in April 2015. Keneally joined Peter van Onselen as co-host of Sky News daytime program To The Point on 1 June 2015 which airs during PVO NewsDay . [78] Keneally was also a regular presenter of primetime programs The Cabinet [79] and Credlin & Keneally . [80] Upon announcing her intention to stand for Federal parliament, she took leave from Sky News on the same day as her announcement on 14 November 2017. [81]

Keneally regularly contributed to The Guardian Australia on a range of politico-social issues such as religion in politics, same sex marriage and asylum seeking between December 2014 and June 2019. [82]

Federal politics

Bennelong by-election, 2017

In November 2017, Keneally was preselected by federal Labor as their candidate for the Bennelong by-election on 16 December. [83] Despite picking up a five percent two-party swing, she lost to the previous incumbent and Liberal candidate John Alexander. [84]

Senator and opposition frontbencher, 2018–2022

On 30 January 2018, the Labor Party announced that Keneally would fill the casual vacancy caused by the resignation of New South Wales senator Sam Dastyari, who resigned earlier that month. [85] Keneally was formally appointed to the vacancy on 14 February 2018 and was sworn in as a senator the following day. [86] [87]

In June 2018, Keneally stated her opposition to mandatory reporting for Catholic priests who are informed of child sexual abuse in confession; she believes it is not the most effective way to prevent abuse. [88] Keneally also attended the Rambam Israel Fellowship Program in Israel, sponsored by the Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council. The lobby group funded "transport, accommodation, meals and other associated costs". [89]

After the 2019 federal election, new leader Anthony Albanese expressed his intention to bring Keneally onto the frontbench despite opposition from the NSW Right faction. On 29 May, Ed Husic announced his resignation from the frontbench and endorsed Keneally as his replacement. [90] On 30 May, Labor's deputy leader in the Senate Don Farrell announced his resignation from the position to make way for a gender-balanced leadership team (since 2013, two of the four leadership positions were held by women). [91] Keneally was subsequently announced as the new Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Shadow Minister for Home Affairs, and Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship in the Albanese shadow cabinet. [11] [12] She resigned from the senate on 13 April 2022. [92]

Fowler candidacy, 2022

In September 2021, it was reported that Keneally would seek preselection for the Division of Fowler in the House of Representatives to succeed retiring MP Chris Hayes at the 2022 federal election. [93]

This occurred after Tu Le, a Vietnamese-Australian lawyer was endorsed by Hayes. Le was his preferred candidate due to her ability to reflect the multiculturalism of the area and her strong links to the community. The electorate of Fowler includes Sydney suburbs such as Cabramatta and Liverpool which has a population of over 50,000 Asian-Australians. [94] Though Keneally moved to the seat after winning preselection, she did not have roots within the electorate and previously resided on Scotland Island in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney. [95] [96] [97] The push for a white American-born woman with limited connections to a safe Labor seat primarily made up of people of Asian or Middle Eastern background, including a large proportion of recent migrants and refugees, was criticised by Labor MPs such as Anne Aly and Peter Khalil. Others, including former prime minister Paul Keating, supported Keneally, who was installed by party leadership without a pre-selection ballot. [98] [99] [100] Independent Dai Le, a Vietnamese refugee and former Liberal Party councillor and candidate, nominated for the seat, and defeated Keneally in one of only two Labor losses at the 2022 federal election. [101]

Personal life

Keneally is married to former Mayor of Botany Bay, Ben Keneally; together they have two sons. A daughter died at birth. [102] Her husband is the nephew of Australian writer Thomas Keneally. [23] Keneally is the patron of the Stillbirth Foundation Australia. [103]

Keneally and her family previously lived in Pagewood, within the electorate of Heffron which she represented in state parliament. In 2016, Keneally and her husband sold their home and moved across Sydney to a rented home in Hunters Hill. Together they own a $1.8 million home on the isolated Scotland Island on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and a townhouse in Wollstonecraft purchased for $1.3 million in 2016. [104] Keneally and her family moved to Liverpool prior to contesting the local seat of Fowler at the 2022 federal election. [105]

In late 2022, Keneally was appointed as chief executive officer of the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation, which raises funds for children's healthcare. [106]

Keneally is a supporter of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL.

Keneally is ketogenic. [107]
