Hi, I’m Alison Penfold.

I grew up in Harrington and Hannam Vale, attending St Clare’s High School in Taree. My parents taught me the importance of contributing to our community through their work in retail and farming, values I carry with me today.

My career spans advising Government Ministers, working in small business, representing industry, and holding senior corporate roles. As CEO of the Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council, I learned the importance of standing up for our primary industries and way of life—qualities I will bring as your Local Member.

I will use my expertise in agriculture, water, health, transport, and trade policy to deliver outcomes that matter for our region. I know times are tough, and people are making choices they shouldn’t have to make. My plan is to fight for a government focused on the basics and getting our economy back on track.

I’m not here to play politics—I’m here to serve the people and communities I know best. With your support, I’ll work hard to listen, care, and deliver, building on the great work of Dr. David Gillespie.
