Life and career
Meghan Tapley was born to Anne and Graham Tapley in 1987 or 1988.[a][2][3] Anne was initially from Adelaide, but moved to Port Lincoln, where her husband Graham's family was based.[2] The Tapleys have fished in Port Lincoln for three generations, and Meghan assisted in running the shore-based operations of the Tapley family business, Australian Southern Exporters.[1][2] Alongside her mother, Tapley started The Prawn Store business in the early 2020s, selling prawn at markets across South Australia.[2] As of 2025, The Prawn Store had a shop in Port Lincoln.[4] Meghan Tapley was reported to have married Daniel Petherick in January 2025.[5]
In November 2025, Petherick announced she would contest the 2026 South Australian state election as an independent candidate, standing in the district of Flinders.[3][6] Petherick stated that her campaign for Flinders was centred around transport planning in the area to keep Eyre Peninsula producers competitive, and sustainability in the local seafood and farming sectors.[1][3][7] Petherick was successful at the 2026 state election, defeating Sam Telfer to be elected as the MP for Flinders.
