}}Matthew James Keogh (born 11 November 1981) is an Australian Labor Member of the Australian House of Representatives.[1] He was elected in the 2016 federal election as the first member for the newly created Division of Burt in the south eastern suburbs of Perth, the capital of Western Australia.[2]

Mat was the son of Nicholas Keogh

Early life and career

Keogh grew up in Kelmscott and Armadale, both now in the Division of Burt, where he attended St Francis Xavier Primary School and then Mazenod College. He was a youth group leader at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church and volunteer St John Ambulance Cadet.

He studied a Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours), majoring in politics at Notre Dame University,[3] where he was also Secretary of the Student Association.

Whilst at university, Keogh worked for iiNet and then Alannah MacTiernan, the WA Minister for Planning & Infrastructure. Keogh was also a Policy Officer in the Social Policy Unit of the Department of the Premier & Cabinet under the Gallop Government.

Upon graduation, Keogh joined a local legal firm, then worked as a Federal Prosecutor, and commercial litigation lawyer. He was the youngest President of the Law Society of Western Australia.

Political career

Keogh joined the Australian Labor Party in 1997 and was President of WA Young Labor in 2007.[1]

After being unsuccessful as Labor's candidate at the September 2015 federal by-election in Canning,[2] which precipitated Malcolm Turnbull deposing Tony Abbott as Prime Minister of Australia, Keogh ran successfully in the 2016 federal election for the electorate of Burt. The new seat included a third of Canning's old territory, and on paper was notionally Liberal. However, it included much of the more urbanised portion of the old Canning, and much of the seat's territory was represented by Labor at state level. Keogh won the seat on a swing of more than 13 points.

Following his election, Keogh was elected the Deputy Chair of the Labor Caucus, appointed the Labor Opposition Waste Watch spokesperson and became a member of the House Economics Committee, which was tasked with inquiring into the Australian banks,[4] as well as the House Agriculture & Water Committee and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services.[1]

Personal

Keogh met his wife Annabel at law school and they married in 2011. They have one son, Nicholas, born in August 2016.
