She is the member for Macquarie in the Australian House of Representatives and is Australia's Special Envoy for the Arts.

At the time she was the youngest permanent journalist in the press gallery.

1987

She covered the 1987 election campaign.

1988

In 1988, Templeman and her husband moved to New York, and then London working as radio journalist foreign correspondents for both 2UE and Austereo.

Templeman has been described as "one of Australia's most successful media trainers".

Templeman joined the Labor Party during John Howard's term in office.

Describing her reasons for joining the Party, Templeman said:"'I could not sit by and see Australia becoming a backwards-looking and defensive society. Apparently, we no longer cared about being a republic or about Aboriginal reconciliation. We moved away from inclusion and we distanced ourselves from Asia. That was not the Australia I wanted for my children. So I joined the Labor Party, with no clear ambition other than to help get rid of John Howard. Not a bad one.'"

2010

Templeman had previously run twice for the same seat, in 2010 and 2013.

Templeman sought to be preselected as Labor's candidate for Macquarie at the 2010 federal election, and was the preferred candidate of the outgoing member, and former minister, Bob Debus.

The preselection was marred with controversy, and required the intervention of the ALP's national executive, which ordered a rank-and-file preselection.

Templeman, a member of the Socialist Left Faction, or hard left, of the ALP, was locked in a bitter battle with former Blue Mountains mayor, Adam Searle, a member of the Ferguson Left, or soft left.

Searle was backed by the members of the soft left, members of the Labor Right faction and factional powerbroker Mark Arbib, but Templeman ultimately prevailed in the rank-and-file preselection, gaining 84 votes against the only other nominee, former policewoman Donna Ritchie.

At the 2010 election, Macquarie was the fourth most marginal Labor-held seat in the country.
