About
I’m Linda Burney, a proud member of the Wiradjuri nation and the Member for Barton.
As the first Aboriginal person to be elected to the NSW Parliament and the first Aboriginal woman to serve in the House of Representatives, I believe passionately in the need to advance social justice and Indigenous rights within Australia.
I've been hard at work to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
It’s just not right that too many Indigenous Australians have shorter lives, live in overcrowded housing, or have less economic opportunity.
So our Government is listening to communities and grassroots organisations on how we can make real progress on the things Indigenous Australians want: health, education, jobs, housing and justice.
I’m proud to serve in a government that is making a difference.
Authorised by Linda Burney, ALP, Sydney.
