Nathan Rees Biography

Nathan Rees is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 12, 1968 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Rees was born to Daryl and Frances Rees in Western Sydney in 1968. His mother is a long-standing Labor Party member, reportedly from Penrith in New South Wales. Rees attended Northmead Creative and Performing Arts High school, where he was also school captain. After leaving school, he began a horticultural apprenticeship. He then worked as a Parramatta Council greenskeeper. He continued his studies at the University of Sydney in English literature and received an honours degree. In 1994, he worked as a garbage collector for the council. He was Secretary of the Municipal and Shire Employees Union during his time at Council.

Later, he worked as Chief of Staff for Minister Milton Orkopoulos and Ministers Craig Knowles. Rees was transferred to the Premier’s Office in 2006, three months after Orkopoulos was arrested for paedophilia. Rees stated that he did not know about the Orkopoulos crimes and would have reported them to police if he knew.

The Rees government responded to the crisis with a three-point plan. Firstly, Rees reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the retention of a Triple A credit rating. Rees emphasised that as finance and credit became harder to get around the world, retaining a Triple A credit rating was essential to being able to borrow money at the lowest rates available. Secondly, as Chair of the government’s Budget sub-committee, Rees announced there would be a mini-budget which was delivered in November 2008. The mini-budget delayed a number of large scale capital works projects with long lead times and instead emphasised capital expenditure on smaller projects which could generate employment more quickly. Third, Rees drew industry and business leaders together to conduct a job summit. This summit was co-chaired by Roger Corbett, Steve Harkins and David Gonski. In addition to the Work Plan developed by the summit, Rees also announced the establishment of 4,000 government apprenticeships across the state and 2,000 cadetships.

Rees took over as Premier on 5 September 2008. Eleven days later Lehman Brothers, a financial giant based in the United States, collapsed and precipitated the global financial crisis.

Rees, along with Verity Firth, his Education Minister, made significant changes to the NSW Education System during his brief tenure as Premier. There had been only a slight rise in student retention from 1998 to 2008. However, significant inequality was observed as a function of socio-economic status. Rees responded by announcing in January 2009 that he would increase the minimum age of leaving school from 15 to 17.
