Peter led the South Australian Labor Party to victory at the March 2022 state election, becoming the 47th Premier of South Australia.

He first entered state parliament as a member of the Legislative Council in 2015 before being elected as the member for Croydon in 2018.

‍

During the Weatherill Labor Government Peter held the portfolios of Minister for Police, Correctional Services, Emergency Services, and Road Safety (2016-2017) and Minister for Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse (2017-2018).

‍

As Leader of the Opposition (2018-22) he brought a constructive alternative approach to the challenges facing South Australia during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

With a focus on health, education, jobs, skills, and the environment, Peter was elected with a plan not just for the next four years, but for the next generation of South Australians.

‍

In Peter’s spare time, he can often be found at a Port Adelaide game or out on the footy field playing with his beloved Adelaide Uni Blacks.

His great love though is his family. Peter and his wife Annabel have four young children Sophie, Jack, Eliza, and George.
