Rebekha Sharkie

Rebekha Sharkie MP represents the regional electorate of Mayo in South Australia, including the Adelaide Hills, the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island.

First elected in 2016, Rebekha is the first woman and first non-liberal to represent the seat and is now the longest serving female House of Representatives cross-bench member since Federation. Rebekha works hard to Make Mayo Matter and follows the principle of always putting her community first and being their independent voice.

In Parliament, she’s proud to champion climate action, regional housing, employment, aged care and infrastructure, as well as reforms to political donation laws, gambling and greater accountability in politics.

Climate 200 is proud to have supported Rebekha in 2019, 2021, and 2025.
