Timeline

1968

Dai Trang Le (Lê Trang Đài, ; born 1 April 1968) is a Vietnamese-born Australian politician currently serving as the federal member for Fowler and councillor for Fairfield/Cabravale Ward.

Le was born in Saigon in 1968.

Her family was "closely linked with the Americans" during the Vietnam War.

1975

On 30 April 1975, the day that North Vietnam captured Saigon, Le was taken to a port with her family by "military dressed men" and put on a boat to the Philippines.

Her family initially believed they would be resettled in the United States and were told their father would join them – he was a Vietnamese lawyer working with the American Embassy – however he did not make it in time to board the boat.

Neither Le nor her family ever saw him again.

1979

Le arrived in Australia in 1979 as a refugee of the Vietnam War after fleeing Saigon in April 1975 and spending four years with her family in refugee camps in the Philippines and Hong Kong.

She lived in a refugee camp in the Philippines for three years until 1979, when her mother decided to smuggle the family aboard another boat to Hong Kong.

Her family lived in a refugee camp in Hong Kong for nine months until they were processed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and accepted for resettlement to Australia.

She arrived in Australia by plane in December 1979.

Her family lived briefly in the Fairy Meadow Migrant Hostel after arriving before eventually being resettled in Bossley Park, a suburb in Sydney's west.

Le attended St Mary Star of the Sea College in Wollongong and later Cerdon College in Merrylands where she completed her Higher School Certificate.

She then completed a Bachelor of Arts at Macquarie University, majoring in political science.

1984

Le won the seat, with an 18-point swing against the Australian Labor Party, who had previously held it since its creation in 1984.

After her election win they had some questions over her eligibility to stand, due to questions on her foreign citizenship status.

She dismissed these questions.

In early August 2022 as one of her first duties in Parliament Le abstained from the Climate Change Bill, tweeting:

"I will be abstaining from voting on the Climate Change Bill. I can’t justify voting yes on a bill that’s been rushed through parliament when we haven’t been given any specific details of the immediate impact on communities like Fowler. I support a cleaner and greener environment, but my main priority is making sure the high cost of living and unemployment rates in our area are stabilised – especially in these very tough economic times. I will consider supporting future climate policies only if they have a positive outcome for low-income families who are already struggling with high food, fuel and energy prices."

1990

Le began her career in 1990 as a cadet journalist at the Liverpool City Champion newspaper, and later helped establish the Fairfield City Champion newspaper with both being part of the Fairfax Community Media Network (now Australian Community Media).

1996

2011

At the 2011 NSW state election, Le stood again as the Liberal Party candidate for Cabramatta achieving a further 5-point swing to the Liberal Party turning the once safe Labor seat into a marginal seat.
