Alison Waters, Board Member (NSW)

Alison Waters lives in Lismore in northern NSW. She joined the Animal Justice Party in 2016, after the NSW Premier’s ‘backflip’ on the greyhound racing ban. Since that time, she has stood as a candidate at state, federal and local levels. Alison works in the domestic and family violence sector, with an academic background in social work. She has been interested in politics since childhood, inspired by her father who stood for public office in the 1970s. Her desire to advocate for animals was first nurtured during childhood by her mother. Vegan for 27 years, Alison was elected to the Board of Directors in November 2023. She is interested in exploring options for increasing diversity in the Party’s membership, and believes that it is important for us to continue to mentor and support our young members.
