Anne Baker, Labor candidate for the seat Burdekin, has 17 years of experience in local government and is bringing her leadership skills to the Burdekin electorate. Having lived in the Bowen electorate for 39 years and in Collinsville for a decade, Baker says she has built a strong connection with the region.
"I’m an authentic leader; I’m a people person and will always put people over politics," she said, emphasising her commitment to the community.
Baker’s political background includes 12 years as the Mayor of the Isaac Region, where she led major legislative changes in areas like mining, agriculture, and cattle industries.
"I understand the processes and mechanisms of government, having led sustainable resource legislation directly related to mining," she noted, underscoring her hands-on experience.
When asked about her key priorities for the Burdekin, Baker pointed to significant projects already in the pipeline, including the Bowen Pipeline and water projects in Ayr and the western mining communities.
"There’s lots in the system, and my initial focus is to fully understand them and ensure they’re delivered. Community consultation will play a big role in ensuring these projects succeed."
Baker is also focused on addressing broader local concerns, including cost of living and crime.
"One of the reasons I put my hand up is because I’ve always been driven by authentic and deliverable leadership," she explained.
With a deep understanding of local issues and a strong track record, Baker is confident in her ability to make a difference for the people of the Burdekin.
