Former Rotary scholarship holder, business leader and author, Angie Bell will be the first openly gay woman to represent a major party in the House of Representatives if she gets elected on Saturday.
Following the retirement of Defence Industry Minister Steven Ciobo, Ms Bell was pre-selected for the Liberal National Party in the Federal blue ribbon seat of Moncrieff on the Gold Coast last month.
Ms Bell says she would feel proud if elected but emphasised she is more than her sexuality, saying it’s more important to stand up for all minority groups to make sure no-one is marginalised in our community.
