Administrative / Biographical history
Daniel Clode studied Arts and Law while working in roles for Liberal politicians Senator the Hon Ian Campbell (WA), Senator Grant Chapman (SA), Bill Stefaniak MLA (an ACT Government Minister) and Gary Humphries MLA (Deputy Chief Minister ACT). After previously doing cartoons for the federal Liberal Party during the 1995 Canberra by-election, he was enlisted to work at the Coalition Campaign Headquarters during the 1996 federal election campaign as the campaign cartoonist.
In 1998 Clode worked as an adviser to Cabinet Minister the Hon Peter Reith MP (Vic). On Reith's retirement, he became Director for the ACT Division (2002-2004), before becoming an adviser to Finance Minister Senator the Hon Nick Minchin (SA). In the 2001, 2004 and 2007 federal elections he worked at the Coalition Campaign Headquarters, shadowing the Opposition campaign and doing some cartooning.
After the 2007 election he worked as Policy Director for the ACT Opposition, before joining the Australian Taxation Office in 2008 as a Senior Director (later sometimes acting as an Assistant Commissioner). After the 2013 election, he returned to politics becoming Senior Adviser to Finance Minister Senator the Hon Mathias Cormann (WA).
He served again at Coalition Campaign Headquarters in the 2016 and 2019 federal elections. By late 2019 Clode had worked on ten federal budgets for two Finance Ministers. He has performed roles across the political process from being an officebearer in a political party, to a Director of a party machine, to working in the public service and serving as an adviser across the Howard, Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison Governments.
