Hello, I’m Anne Urquhart, 

I have called Northwest Tasmania home all my life, my husband and I raised our family in Gawler in the same cottage we have lived in for 45 years. I began my working life at the Edgell Potato factory in Ulverstone, Where I stood up for workers rights and helped defeat the Liberal’s WorkChoices.

Since being elected to the Senate in 2011, I have been working hard every day to build a better Braddon.   

You’ll see me across the eight local government areas and small townships of this electorate, energetically working with families and businesses to address the issues we face together.   

Throughout my working life, as a past unionist and Senator, I have fought for those I represent. 

I’m energetic. 

I’m hard working. 

I’m experienced.

In the forthcoming 2025 federal election, I will be running as your Federal Labor candidate in the Australian House of Representatives for Braddon. Because I am proud to be part of an Albanese Labor Government that fights to tackle your cost-of-living pressures by:

• Strengthening Medicare
• Increasing bulk billing
• Making medicines more affordable
• Reducing power bills
• Supporting pensioners
• Funding a well-earned pay rise for aged care workers
• Making childcare cheaper for Tasmanian families.

Yours faithfully,
