Stephen Andrew
Stephen Seymour James Andrew is an Australian politician. He has been the One Nation member for Mirani in the Queensland Legislative Assembly since 2017.
Andrew describes himself as a "fourth-generation South Sea Islander", and is the first South Sea Islander to be elected to parliament. His great-great-grandmother Lucy Querro of Ambae Island was one of the Pacific Islander workers who came to Queensland to work in the sugarcane fields or in domestic service; Andrew claims he was "blackbirded". In July 2019 Andrew became a Vanuatu tribal chieftain, Chief Moli Duru Ambrae, following ceremonies held on Ambae Island.
Before entering parliament he worked as a firearms dealer and pest controller. Despite being the only One Nation MP in the Parliament, Andrew was not the state leader of the party; rather, ousted MP Steve Dickson was until his resignation. The position is currently vacant.
