An Australian story. A new voice for Kew.

From an international aviation career to life in Kew, Annie's journey is a story of learning, belonging and possibility. Australia gave Annie a home, a future and a voice. Standing for Parliament is her way of embracing all three.

Annie grew up in Communist China, where opportunity was constrained by circumstance. She pursued education with determination, building a career in aviation that took her across China, France and eventually Australia.

Her doctorate in aviation research brought her to Melbourne, where she found not just a career but a community. She chose to become an Australian citizen — a deliberate, considered act that she describes as one of the most meaningful decisions of her life.

Kew became home. And with that sense of home came a desire to contribute — not just as a resident, but as a voice in the democratic process she had come to admire.

The case for Annie starts with who she is: curious, energetic and deeply enthusiastic about her adopted country. Her international experience gives her different ways of looking at familiar problems.

As an independent, Annie is not bound by party lines or factional obligations. She can listen to Kew residents, weigh the evidence, and advocate for what genuinely serves the community — not what serves a party platform.

Her background in research means she is comfortable with complexity, sceptical of easy answers, and committed to decisions that are backed by evidence rather than ideology.

Kew deserves a representative who brings fresh eyes to old challenges. Annie offers exactly that — along with the energy and enthusiasm of someone who has chosen this community, this state and this country with intention.

We are not ready to take on the street-level work of a campaign yet, but we'd love to hear from you.

Whether you have a local issue you'd like Annie to know about, you'd like to volunteer, or you simply want to ask a question — this is the place to start.

Campaign contact details and event hosting will be finalised as the campaign develops. In the meantime, your message goes directly to the campaign team.
