Timeline

1964

Marise Ann Payne (born 29 July 1964) is an Australian politician who was a Senator for New South Wales from 1997 until 2023, representing the Liberal Party.

1982

Payne joined the Liberal Party in 1982, and was state president of the New South Wales Young Liberals from 1987 to 1988.

1989

She was the first woman to serve as federal president of the Young Liberals (1989–1991).

She then served as federal president of the Young Liberals from 1989 to 1991, the first woman to hold the position, and as a member of the state executive of the New South Wales Liberals from 1991 to 1997.

1991

In 1991, Payne was an unsuccessful candidate to fill the casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Peter Baume.

At the time she was serving as private secretary to Senator Robert Hill.

1994

In 1994, Payne was appointed vice-chair of the Australian Republican Movement, serving under chairman Malcolm Turnbull.

At the time, she was working as an adviser to Premier John Fahey and serving on the Liberal Party's state executive.

Tony Abbott, who was then the national executive director of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy, criticised her for accepting the position, stating "anyone who does not support constitutional monarchy is at odds with the party".

John Howard accused her of a "conflict of interest", stating she had joined "an organisation dominated by Labor sympathisers".

1997

Payne was appointed to the Senate in 1997, in place of Bob Woods.

Following the resignation of Senator Bob Woods in March 1997, Payne was chosen by the Liberal Party to fill the casual vacancy.

She took office on 9 April 1997, and has subsequently been re-elected to the Senate at the 2001, 2007, 2013, 2016 election and 2022 election.

Her office is located in Parramatta, in Sydney's western suburbs.

Payne was a backbencher for her first decade in the Senate, from 1997 to 2007.

When she took her seat, The Sydney Morning Herald ran a headline describing her as "The Senator John Howard Didn't Want".

2001

She was elected to a full term in 2001, and has since been re-elected four more times.

She was preselected in third place on the Coalition ticket at the 2001 election, with Howard intervening to ensure Helen Coonan ranked ahead of her as the first Liberal candidate.

2007

Payne was first added to the shadow ministry in 2007, and when the Coalition returned to power in 2013 she was made Minister for Human Services in the Abbott government.

Payne was appointed Minister for Defence when Malcolm Turnbull became prime minister, becoming the first woman to hold the position.

Prior to the 2007 election, members of the Liberal Party's conservative faction attempted to have Payne removed from the ticket.

However, for the sake of unity Howard and Bill Heffernan intervened to ensure that she retained a winning place on the Coalition ticket.

Payne served on various Senate committees during that time, notably as chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade and the Senate Legal and Constitutional Committee.

Payne was appointed as a shadow parliamentary secretary after the Coalition lost the 2007 election, with responsibility for foreign affairs (2007–2008) and international development assistance and indigenous affairs (2008–2009).

2009

When Tony Abbott became Leader of the Opposition in December 2009, she was appointed Shadow Minister for COAG and Modernising the Federation.

2013

She held senior ministerial office in Coalition governments between 2013 and 2022, including as Minister for Defence (2015–2018) and Minister for Foreign Affairs (2018–2022).

Payne was born in Sydney and attended the University of New South Wales.

When the Coalition won the 2013 federal election, Payne was appointed Minister for Human Services in the Abbott government.

2014

In March 2014, she announced that Medicare offices would close on Saturdays, as there had been a "60 per cent reduction in walk-ins into Medicare shopfronts on Saturdays".

In June 2014, she announced the creation of "myGov hybrid government shopfronts", which are designed to assist customers with setting up online accounts for government services such as Centrelink, Medicare, the Australian Taxation Office, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

2018

After Turnbull was replaced by Scott Morrison in August 2018, it was announced that she would replace Julie Bishop as Minister for Foreign Affairs in the new government, a position she held until the government's defeat in 2022.

She is the longest-serving female senator in Australia's history.

On 8 September 2023, Payne announced she would resign from the Senate, effective 30 September.
