Timeline

1964

Sarah Moya Henderson (born 4 April 1964) is an Australian politician, lawyer and former journalist.

Henderson was born on 4 April 1964 in Geelong, Victoria.

1977

She moved to The Geelong College in 1977, soon after it became co-educational, and became the first female school captain.

1982

In 1982, Henderson became a cadet reporter with Channel 7 in Melbourne.

She went on to work with Channel 9 in Brisbane and then Channel 10 in Melbourne, where she presented the weekend news with Alister Paterson.

She moved to ABC-TV where she worked as a presenter of the consumer advocacy program The Investigators.

1990

Her mother Ann Henderson (Corben) was a Liberal state government minister in the 1990s, while her father Michael Henderson served as mayor of the City of Newtown and was an unsuccessful Liberal candidate for state parliament.

Henderson began her education at Sacred Heart College in Geelong.

1992

Her media career included working as a presenter of the ABC's Holiday program (1992–1993) and Australia's Most Wanted in 1994, and she was the Victorian presenter of The 7.30 Report in 1995.

1996

When The 7.30 Report became a national program in 1996, she continued working as the program's law correspondent and was also awarded a Walkley Award for her coverage of the Port Arthur massacre.

1998

In 1998, she obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree from Monash University and moved to a career in the law with the Melbourne firm Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks.

2002

She worked as an attorney for News Corporation and was a weekly columnist with the Herald Sun newspaper from 2002 to 2004.

At the same time, she established the Kudos Management Group which led to business management roles with Network Ten and National Indigenous Television.

2003

In 2003, Henderson hosted the Ethnic Business Awards, which is a national business award highlighting migrant and Indigenous excellence in business.

2009

In 2009, Henderson was chosen as the Liberal Party candidate for the federal seat of Corangamite, but was defeated by ALP incumbent Darren Cheeseman in the 2010 election.

2013

She previously held the Division of Corangamite in the House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019.

She was preselected again as the Liberal Party's candidate for Corangamite at the 2013 federal election, and won the seat with a 4.6-point swing.

2019

She has been a Senator for Victoria since September 2019, representing the Liberal Party.

Ahead of the 2019 election, a redistribution erased Henderson's majority and made Corangamite marginally Labor.

Henderson sought another term in 2019, but was defeated by her 2016 opponent, Libby Coker.

On 26 May 2019, Victorian Senator Mitch Fifield chose to accept a position as the Permanent Australian Representative in the United Nations, leaving the possibility that the Liberal Party would choose Henderson to fill the casual vacancy caused by Fifield's eventual resignation to accept the role.

On 8 September, Henderson defeated Greg Mirabella in the preselection ballot 234 votes to 197.

She was appointed to the Senate by a joint sitting of the Parliament of Victoria on 11 September 2019.

After the Coalition's defeat at the 2022 federal election, Henderson was appointed to new opposition leader Peter Dutton's shadow cabinet.

She held the communications portfolio until February 2023, when she replaced Alan Tudge in the education portfolio following his retirement from parliament.

As the Member for Corangamite, Henderson campaigned strongly against coal-seam gas mining (fracking) in Victoria's south-west as well as against a planned drilling campaign in the Great Australian Bight.

However, following losing her seat at the 2019 Federal Election and being appointed to fill a casual senate vacancy, she urged Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews to lift the moratorium on conventional on-shore gas mining, saying to the Senate "Victoria is at a tipping point, facing blackouts over summer, with now the highest electricity prices in the nation. We need more dispatchable power – taking gas out of the Otway Basin onshore, as the state permits offshore, is desperately required."

2020

By 2020, Henderson had taken a more rightward shift on the issue of climate change describing local MPs in the Geelong region as "climate action zealots" while also coming out in support of coal mining and gas.

Henderson has made calls for the strengthening of foreign investment rules, and opposes foreign ownership of vital assets, saying that "Australia's critical infrastructure assets, such as airports, power stations, data networks, communications infrastructure and ports – including the Port of Darwin – should simply not be falling into foreign hands."

Henderson supports a review into the allocation of water permits in the Murray-Darling Basin.

"We must always ask what more we can do - whether it be a serious review of environmental water allocations for the Murray or new water trading rules to combat the corporate water hoarders and price takers."

Henderson also supports the construction of new dams, saying water "storage infrastructure is vital and in contrast to the NSW Government, the Victorian Government was refusing to green light any new dam".

Henderson opposes the transfer of asylum seekers to Australia on medical grounds.

On the medevac legislation, she states that "there is no need for this bill ... this is all about politics. We are very very concerned ... it's unnecessary and it's all about politics and not about substance", while previously stating that those requiring medical treatment could already access assistance on Manus Island and Nauru.

Henderson has generally upheld the party line on boat turnbacks.

Henderson supported public health measures, including restrictions, to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the community, but stated while Victorians understood the need for health restrictions, including those made using State of Emergency powers, restrictions must be proportionate to the public health risk, justifiable and temporary.

She also said that she had "raised deep concerns about some restrictions which have closed businesses on what appears to be arbitrary and inconsistent grounds".

In September 2020, Henderson described Victoria's roadmap out of COVID-19 restrictions as a "journey of despair".

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Henderson is a member of the National Right faction of the Liberal Party, after previously being aligned with the Centre-Right faction during the Morrison government years.

She was a supporter of same-sex marriage in Australia.
