Senator Sarah Hanson-Young is a passionate environmentalist, community campaigner, feminist, and human rights activist. With 18 years in the Parliament, Sarah has become one of the country's leading voices on women in politics, environmental protection, media laws and diversity, and human rights policy.

Sarah is the Australian Greens Manager of Business, and Party spokesperson for the Environment and Water, Media and Communications, and the Arts. Representing the state of South Australia, Sarah believes our economy must deliver for both people and planet. She has a proven record of working across different groups and sectors to create a progressive, safe and sustainable global community.

Sarah has a strong interest in media and communications policy, heading the push for a shake up of media laws in Australia and a Royal Commission for media reform and diversity. Her short book “En Garde” was a personal exposé that helped break the silence on women’s treatment in modern Australian politics. In 2019, Sarah won a landmark defamation case against a former male Senator, calling out harassment and sending a strong message that women deserve to be safe and respected in all workplaces.

Sarah has been a Young Global Leader with the World Economic Forum since 2016 and was a Bloomberg Catalyst in 2021.
