About Connie
I am a fierce advocate for justice, transparency, and reform in South Australia’s Parliament. With over 14 years of experience in state and federal politics, I believe I bring deep insight and unwavering integrity to my role in the Legislative Council.
Since my election in 2018, my actions have resulted in numerous legislative reforms, including nation-leading measures to protect women and girls against the scourge of explicit deepfake images, protecting children against predators and the evils that lurk online and also helping to bridge the gender gap through the provision of free pads and tampons across all TAFE campuses in the state, a significant win for women who struggle to afford female hygiene products.
I have made it my mission to protect children, support victims of crime, and hold government accountable. From criminalising “stealthing” (non-consensual condom removal) and banning spit-hoods, to pushing for clearer legal language in child abuse cases and strengthening coronial investigations, I have consistently championed the rights of the vulnerable and the voiceless. My commitment to gender equality and workplace safety has exposed systemic issues and driven real change, including inquiries into harassment in the legal profession and legislation to establish a Commissioner for Gender Equality. Whether it’s tackling gambling harm, ending period poverty, or reforming corrections, I stand as a committed and compassionate voice for South Australians — driven by grassroots values and a relentless pursuit of fairness.
