About Steven

Steven was first elected to State Parliament in 2010, became Leader of the South Australian Liberal Party in 2013 and Premier of South Australia in 2018.

Steven’s time as Premier was marked by his astute handling of the first global pandemic for one hundred years and framed by his vision for the transformation of the South Australian economy into a global leader creating new industries, businesses, jobs and prosperity.

Lot Fourteen, on the site of the old Royal Adelaide Hospital, was of particular focus for Steven and is a significant part of our economic renewal as a global hub for innovation, research, entrepreneurship, education and our unique indigenous culture.

Due to his persuasive lobbying, South Australia is now home to the Australian Space Agency and more than 100 individual space related entities, echoing past achievements and setting us up for an exciting future. We are fast becoming the Houston of the Southern Hemisphere.
