Daniel Mookhey was elected to the Parliament of NSW on 6 May 2015 as a Member of the Legislative Council.

The son of Indian migrants, Daniel was the first MP in an Australian Parliament and the first Treasurer to be sworn in on the Hindu religious text, the Bhagavad Gita.

Daniel is a passionate advocate for the people of NSW.

As Treasurer since March 2023, Daniel has delivered three budgets, with a focus on helping the people of NSW with the cost of living, fixing essential services, addressing the housing crisis and driving reform to get the state budget back to a sustainable position.

He has done this at a challenging time for the people of NSW with high inflation and interest rates affecting both family budgets and the state budget.
