Laura Gerber


Laura Jane Gerber is an Australian politician. She represents the seat of Currumbin in the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Liberal National Party.

Early life

Prior to her political career, Gerber was a Commonwealth prosecutor. She spent a period at the Redfern Legal Centre. Gerber appeared on the Australian version of the Worst Driver television franchise in 2003.

Politics

The seat of Currumbin became vacant due to the resignation of Jann Stuckey. Gerber was announced as the Liberal National Party candidate for Currumbin on 28 January 2020 by Leader of the Opposition Deb Frecklington. Stuckey complained that local party members had been denied a vote, reflecting a determination for the seat to be contested by "a skirt". Gerber won the seat in the 2020 Currumbin state by-election.
