Stephen Andrew is One Nation’s state member for Mirani and this is his second term. He is a 5th generation decedent from the South Sea Islander “Kanakas” and has deep roots in the Mirani district.
Since the last 1800s Steve’s family have been in the communities from Rockhampton to Mackay with both of Steve’s grandfathers born within the boundaries of Mirani. One of Steve’s relatives was born on the banks of Sandy Creek in a hessian Hut and Cedric lived to a ripe age of 101. His maternal grandfather serviced in the 43rd Battalion in France during the Great War.
Steve has a background in both electrical and mechanical trades, largely within the mining industry. His decision to represent the people of Mirani comes from a long family commitment to community values and seeing firsthand how poor legislation brings about unnecessary family hardship and damages the local economy.
Steve’s passion is to work towards strengthening the local community and the economy and to ensure people are free to live dignified lives.
