Lucy Gabb

Lucy has strong family links with the Bradfield area; her parents live in Wahroonga and her grandparents in St Ives. Many others in her family have also lived in the Upper North Shore area and were active members of the community, contributing to the environment and community that we enjoy today. Lucy is keen to continue their legacy in building a free and respectful society.

Lucy completed year 12 at Abbotsleigh School for Girls in Wahroonga. She has a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of NSW and also studied art, philosophy and politics. She currently lives in Paddington and works as a Search Marketer for a media agency in North Sydney. Lucy is an enthusiastic sportswoman; she cycles to work every day and enjoys hockey, swimming and Yoga

Lucy first became involved with the Liberal Democrats in the 2007 Federal election. She was impressed by the fact that the candidates were not career politicians but everyday people standing up for their rights and working towards freedom. She was also attracted to the ideology of the party, with individual liberty as its main underpinning; it draws together two areas that Lucy believes are important for a stable community: liberal social policy and free market economics.
