Jack Batty was elected the Member for Bragg in the Parliament of South Australia in July 2022. He currently serves as the Acting Shadow Minister for the Environment.

Prior to entering State Parliament, Jack worked in international diplomacy as an adviser to the Hon. George Brandis QC during his term as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. Through this role, Jack was a delegate to the 2021 Climate Conference in Glasgow, worked on Australia’s free trade deal with the United Kingdom and assisted in Australia’s pandemic response.

Jack completed his Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours), Bachelor of Economics and Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice at the University of Adelaide.

Jack lives locally with his wife, Charlotte, and has deep ties to the eastern suburbs and Hills. When Jack is not in Parliament, you can often find him climbing the Mount Lofty summit, grabbing a coffee at one of our many local cafes and going for walks around our neighborhood.
