Laura Hughes announced as Labor Candidate for New England

11th Feb 2025

Tamworth based community advocate, Laura Hughes, has announced her candidacy for the seat of New England in the upcoming federal election, representing the Australian Labor Party.
Following a strong campaign in 2022 that significantly boosted Labor’s vote in the region, Laura says she is eager to continue building momentum and fighting for a fairer, more equitable future for the people of New England.
“In 2022, we made incredible progress together, and I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from our community,” Laura said.
“This time, we’re aiming even higher—to challenge Barnaby Joyce and ensure New England’s voice is heard loud and clear in Canberra.”
As part of her campaign, Laura is focused on delivering vital services for the community, including improved healthcare access.
Laura’s campaign aligns with the vision of the Albanese Labor Government, which she said has delivered ‘three years of stable, honest leadership, addressing challenges inherited after nearly a decade of Coalition rule’.
As the election date draws closer, Laura is calling on New England residents to join her in the fight for a fairer Australia.
“This is our opportunity to build on the progress we’ve made and ensure New England’s future is one of equity, opportunity, and care. Will you join me?”
