Michael Rueben Egan AO (born 21 February 1948), a former union official and former Australian politician, served as Treasurer of New South Wales between 1995 and 2005. Egan is currently the Chancellor of Macquarie University and sits on a number of government and non-government advisory boards.
Egan was educated at St Patrick's College, Sutherland and obtained his Bachelor of Arts from Sydney University. He served the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union as a Federal Research Officer (1969 – 1973) and was an Advisor to the Hon Les Johnson as Federal Minister for Housing and Construction and Federal Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (1973 – 1975).
Egan served as an Officer of the NSW State Pollution Control Commission (1976 – 1978) and was a Senior Policy Advisor to Barrie Unsworth initially as NSW Minister for Transport and NSW Minister for Health and then as Premier of NSW (1984 – 1986).
Egan was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly on 7 October 1978, standing in the seat of Cronulla. Although re-elected on 19 August 1981, he was defeated in elections held on 5 March 1984. He successfully ran for election to the New South Wales Legislative Council on 24 September 1986. It was not until the Bob Carr-led Labor Party took power on 3 April 1995 that he became State Treasurer, Minister for Energy, and Minister for State Development. In a Ministerial reshuffle in November 1997, Bob Debus took over the Energy portfolio. Egan was also Minister for Gaming and Racing for one month during 2003 replacing Richard Face and succeeded by Grant McBride. Egan was eventually to become the longest serving Treasurer in New South Wales.
