Ben Keneally is an Australian Labor Party politician. He is the Mayor of Botany Bay, and husband of former NSW Premier Kristina Keneally.
Keneally grew up in Gladesville, New South Wales. Educated at Holy Cross College, Ryde and the University of Sydney, Keneally previously worked as a management consultant, for Medical Imaging Australia Limited (MIA), as a director within the NSW Department of Family and Community Services, and finally for an environmental consultancy, before entering politics.
Keneally was originally planning to challenge Deirdre Grusovin for Labor preselection in the state seat of Heffron in 2003. However, Labor's affirmative action rules required a female candidate, so he stood down in favour of Kristina.
