Allison Anne "Ali" France (pron. /ˈeɪliː/ "AYY-lee";[1] née Lawlor; born 13 May 1973)[2] is an Australian politician who has served as the member of parliament (MP) for the Queensland division of Dickson since 2025 as a member of the Labor Party (ALP).[3][4]
France contested her seat in 2019 and 2022, both times losing to the Liberal Party's Peter Dutton.[5] She unseated Peter Dutton, the then Leader of the Opposition, on her third attempt in the 2025 Australian federal election, becoming the first Labor MP from Dickson since Cheryl Kernot lost the seat to Dutton in 2001.[6] She became the first challenger to defeat a sitting Opposition Leader in their own seat.
