Anne Urquhart
Candidate for Braddon
Anne Urquhart has spent her life standing up for fair treatment for all Tasmanians and building a better Braddon. Born in Latrobe and raised in the North West, Anne is deeply committed to her community and its future.
Anne and her husband, Graham, raised their family in their cottage in Gawler, where they have lived for 45 years. She began her working life at the potato factory in Ulverstone, where she first stood up for workers’ rights as a union delegate and later as an organiser with the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU). In 2004, she became the first female state secretary of the AMWU in Tasmania, leading successful campaigns for fair pay and safe workplaces.
Anne knows that the North West, West Coast, and King Island are full of potential, especially in resources, agriculture, manufacturing, and renewable energy. Her priorities include supporting well-paid jobs, strong local manufacturing, access to quality childcare and aged care, and great education from early years through to adult learning. She is also focused on housing and infrastructure to keep the region connected.
Anne is dedicated to listening to her community and making sure their voices are heard in Canberra. She is committed to working together with her community to build a better Braddon.
