Meet Ann

Hi, I'm Ann Leahy, your LNP member for Warrego.

Ann Leahy was born in Stanthorpe, raised on the family farm, educated via Distance Education and boarding school and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Science. She has a keen interest in aviation and spends her spare time competing in sheep dog trials with her two beloved border collies, Molly and Jess.

Ann has worked in the political sector for over 30 years.  She is a passionate voice for the South-West fighting for doctors in local communities and better health facilities in the region.

Ann is a strong advocate for the agricultural, manufacturing, resources and tourism sectors across South West Queensland.  She is passionate about ensuring the government's priorities are focused on plans to grow these industries whilst keeping the communities safe and enabling them to grow with more housing opportunities.

Ann was elected in 2015 as the Member for Warrego and is the first female Member of Parliament to win the state seat of Warrego since Federation. She advocates for communities across her electorate from the western parts of the Darling Downs to the South Australian border.

Ann has served as Parliamentary Deputy Chair of the Parliamentary Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources Committee. In 2017, Ann was appointed as the LNP Shadow Minister for Local Government.  In 2020, Ann was appointed to the portfolios of Local Government, Disaster Recovery and Volunteers.  

Ann has seen first-hand the impacts of Labor's mismanagement - fewer police on the beat, hospital ramping putting lives at risk, the spiralling cost of living and widespread housing stress.

In the lead-up to the October election, Ann will continue advocating for people from across the Warrego electorate. She is proud to be part of the LNP team led by David Crisafulli to deliver the Right Priorities for Queensland's future.
