Angela Lowery is proud to be running as your candidate for Blair in the upcoming Federal Election.

Angela is a lifelong resident of Bundamba and is a strong advocate for animals, nature, and people. She has extensive knowledge, compassion, and skill which are evidenced by her dedication to her work and studies in a diverse range of areas.

Angela holds a Diploma of Enrolled Nursing and has studied Public Relations and Politics and Policy Studies at Deakin University. She is now focusing on furthering her healthcare skill set by completing a Certificate Three in Individual Care. She has worked in retail and sales.

Some of Angela’s main concerns are health, supporting Aussie farmers, and reducing cost of living.

Approximately 96% of Australians are not meeting the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. Dietary risk factors like this are the third leading contributor to overall disease burden. To combat this, Angela will fight for the allocation of $50 million per year to fund programs which encourage Australians to eat more Aussie grown produce. A 10% increase in fruit and vegetable consumption would save Australians $100 million a year.

Living in an electorate that covers Somerset, a region primed for evolution of its existing agriculture industry, policies that will help Aussie farmers hit close to home.

“Allocating $180 million per year to farming innovation and technology would provide Aussie farmers and regional communities with the support and appreciation they deserve.

Fixing the Food System will increase the health of Australians, reduce avoidable government spending, and lower cost of living.”

Family violence and survivor support is also something Angela is acutely aware of. She believes The Animal Justice Party’s Funding to Prevent Family Violence and Assist Victims platform is vital to the future of all Australians.

“Having lived in abusive domestic situations I know how hard it can be to escape. We need to fully fund the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children as well as make an initial allocation of $1 billion for animal friendly emergency accommodation. In 2024, 101 Australian women and 16 children were taken from us by domestic violence. Over half of family violence involves ‘partner pet abuse’. Policies that will enable people to protect their animal companions would save countless lives.”

Angela brings her drive, life experience, and empathy to everything she does.

“If elected I will use my position to fight tirelessly to create a better world. I will advocate for and support political actions which will lead to a safe, healthy, and happy future for non-human animals, people, and the planet we all share.”
