Samuel Peter Hibbins (born 18 February 1982) is an Australian politician who has served as the member for Prahran in the Victorian Legislative Assembly since 2014. He served as the co-deputy leader of the Victorian Greens from April 2024 until resigning from the party to sit as an independent in November 2024.
Prior to his election, Hibbins was a councillor on the City of Stonnington from 2012 to 2014. Before that, Hibbins was a youth worker at the Victorian Government's Department of Human Services. He had previously contested the seat of Malvern at the 2010 state election, and the seat of Higgins at the federal election in the same year.
Political career
Hibbins contested the Victorian seat of Prahran, the state's smallest seat, in 2014. The seat was tightly contested, with Hibbins preferred over Labor's Neil Pharaoh by only 31 votes, and defeating incumbent Clem Newtown-Brown on the two-party preferred vote. The Hibbins campaign focus included building a new secondary school and the redevelopment of South Yarra railway station.
Hibbins was re-elected in 2018. He has held the Victorian Greens' portfolios of Spokesperson Major Events, Education and Youth since December 2018. He has also held the portfolios of Spokesperson for Consumer Affairs, Housing, Planning, Local Government, and Industrial Relations since June 2020.
In 2021, Hibbins's proposed South Yarra railway station upgrades were completed.
On 1 November 2024, Hibbins stepped down as co-deputy leader of the Victorian Greens and resigned from the Greens party room to sit as an independent, after it emerged that he had been having an extramarital affair with a staff member from his office. Hibbins described the affair as a "human mistake". On 23 November, he announced his forthcoming resignation as a member of parliament, triggering a by-election in the seat of Prahran.
Personal life
Hibbins is married with two children.
