Hello, I’m Anne Urquhart, your Federal Member for Braddon.

Northwest Tasmania has always been my home. My husband and I raised our family in Gawler, in the same cottage we’ve 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 Liberals’ unfair WorkChoices laws.

I’ve worked tirelessly every day to build a better future for our region. You’ll find me across the eight local government areas and small townships of this electorate, engaging with families and businesses to tackle the challenges we face together.

Throughout my career as a unionist, Senator and now as your Federal Member I’ve fought for the people I represent.

As part of the Albanese Labor Government, I’m proud to be delivering real action to ease cost-of-living pressures by:

• Strengthening Medicare
• Increasing bulk billing
• Making medicines more affordable
• Reducing power bills
• Supporting pensioners
• Delivering a well-earned pay rise for aged care & Childcare workers

Together, we can keep building a fairer, stronger future for Braddon.

Yours faithfully,
