Judith Anne Hannan (née Irvine) is an Australian politician. She was elected a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing Wollondilly as an Independent in 2023.[3]
Political career
She was the unsuccessful Liberal candidate in the 2001 Auburn state by-election. She then unsuccessfully contested Granville at the 2003 New South Wales state election.
In 2004, she ran for Wollondilly Shire in North Ward.[4]
In the 2011 New South Wales state election, Hannan contested Wollondilly for the Hatton's Independent Team but came in third place.[5]
Prior to the 2019 New South Wales state election, she had been courted as a possible Liberal candidate by then-Premier Gladys Berejiklian.[6] Nathaniel Smith was selected as the Liberal candidate for Wollondilly instead. Hannan ran as an independent against Smith, achieving 44.5% of the two-party preferred vote.[7] In the 2023 election, she ran again as an independent and was supported by the teal-aligned Climate 200.[8]
