  • Alannah Joan Geraldine Cecilia MacTiernan (born 10 January 1953) is an Australian politician. Since 1988, she has served in politics at a federal, state, and local level, including as a minister in the Western Australian state governments of Geoff Gallop, Alan Carpenter, and Mark McGowan. She is best known for her role as the minister for planning and infrastructure during the construction of the Mandurah line. Born in Melbourne, she moved to Perth to study at the University of Western Australia, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and later with a law degree. She worked for the Department of Employment before practising as a lawyer between 1986 and 1992. During this time, she served on the Perth City Council as well. In 1976, she joined the Australian Labor Party, and at the 1993 Western Australian state election, she was elected to the Legislative Council's East Metropolitan Region. She became a shadow minister in October 1994, and she was transferred to the Legislative Assembly at the 1996 state election, winning the seat of Armadale. After Labor won the 2001 state election, MacTiernan became the minister for planning and infrastructure. Early in this role, she changed the route of the proposed Perth to Mandurah rail line to a more direct but costlier route. She oversaw the signing of contracts, construction and commencement of services for the Mandurah line. She also commenced construction on the Kwinana Freeway and Forrest Highway bypass around Mandurah, extended Roe Highway and Tonkin Highway, and expanded Geraldton Port. After Labor lost the 2008 state election and Premier Carpenter resigned as Labor leader, she was one of the frontrunners to replace him, but she lost out to Eric Ripper. She resigned from state parliament in 2010 in order to contest the seat of Canning in that year's federal election. After losing that election, she was elected the mayor of Vincent, in which she served for two years. She successfully contested the seat of Perth in the 2013 federal election, but only stayed in the federal parliament for three years as she declined to contest the 2016 federal election. She again entered state parliament when she won election to the Legislative Assembly's North Metropolitan Region at the 2017 state election. She was made the minister for regional development and minister for agriculture after that election, and she later became the as well. At the 2021 state election, she transferred to the South West Region and became the but relinquished ports. She was the subject of controversy in 2022 when she made comments saying that the Indonesian foot-and-mouth disease outbreak would be good for Australia. Nationals MPs called for her to step down as agriculture minister. She plans to resign from cabinet by the end of 2022 and resign from parliament in early 2023. (en)
