In 1983, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Casey, defeating Liberal MP Peter Falconer. However, a redistribution made his seat marginally Liberal, and as a result he was defeated the following year by Liberal Bob Halverson and retired from politics.[4] Pete Steedman was the Executive Director of the not-for-profit company Ausmusic from 1988 to 1996.
