She held many portfolios in opposition including Information Technology, Manufacturing, Consumer Affairs, Local Government, Sport and Health Promotion. Elected for the fifth time, as part of the Rudd Labor Government Senator Lundy is currently Chair of the Joint Standing Committee for the National Capital and External Territories and a long-standing active member of the Senate Environment, Communications and the Arts Committee. She is also one of the Federal Parliament’s representatives on the Advisory Council of the National Archive of Australia.

In September 2009 Senator Lundy was recognised for her leadership in Gov2.0 online innovation with her Public Sphere initiative when she was ranked 13th in a short list of 25 global leaders by the International Centre for E-democracy and Politics Online.
Senator Lundy continues to be a strong advocate for the use of the internet, digital technology and ICT innovation to strengthen the Australian economy for future growth, to transform public engagement in government processes and to enhance social inclusion within our communities.
