About Mark

Mark Parton is a Liberal Member for Brindabella in the ACT Legislative Assembly.

Prior to being elected to the Assembly, Mark worked across the country as a commercial radio host for 30 years, and ran his own marketing business. You might have listened to Mark during the breakfast timeslot on either Mix 106.3 or 2CC.

First elected to the Assembly in 2016, Mark has been a leading voice for the people of Tuggeranong who rightly feel neglected after two decades of Labor-Greens Government. In 2024, Mark was elected, unopposed, as the 8th Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, the first Liberal elected to the office since 2012.

Mark lives in South Tuggeranong with his wife and their two boisterous kelpies, Nic Nat and Gaffy. Outside of the Assembly, you can find Mark walking his dogs every day, doing the Tuggeranong or Point Hut Parkrun most Saturday mornings, cycling the streets of the Canberra, or posting videos on his popular TikTok account.
