  • Dr Stephen Paul Martin (born in Wollongong, New South Wales on 24 June 1948) is a politician and senior academic. He served as an Australian Labor Party (ALP) member of parliament for the Commonwealth electoral Division of Macarthur, south west of Sydney, from 1984-1993; and he represented Cunningham, following redistribution from 1993, until his resignation in 2002. Prior to entering parliament, Dr Martin served as a high school teacher with the NSW Department of Education, a lecturer at the University of Wollongong, and a Town Planner with the NSW Department of Environment and Planning serving as Regional Manager for the Macarthur Region. He also served as an Alderman on Wollongong City Council from 1983-1985. He served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade from 27 December 1991 to 24 March 1993 and was elected Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives on 4 May 1993, a position that he held until the election of the Howard government in 1996. The resignation of Dr Martin before the expiration of his term, on 16 August 2002, caused a by-election which was subsequently won by the Australian Greens. The party's preselected replacement, Sharon Bird, had not been selected by the rank and file members of the party, but rather by using a provision in the party rules, and the presence of a Green trade union candidate with the support of the South Coast Labor Council, local trade union members and disaffected ALP members helped to make Martin's former the seat the first House of Representatives seat to be won by a minor party since 1946. After a period as President of the University of Wollongong campus in Dubai, Professor Stephen Martin took the position of Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) at Victoria University in Melbourne in January 2005. His major contributions were to transform Victoria University's international operations and to create Victoria University International (VUI) as a unit of the University. In March 2008 Professor the Hon. Stephen Martin took up the position of Deputy Vice Chancellor (Strategy and Planning) at Curtin University of Technology in Perth. In April 2009 the Hon. Stephen Martin took up the position of Senior Consultant with the Slade Group in Melbourne.
