Dai Trang Le (Vietnamese: Lê Trang Đài,[2][3]pronounced[lej˧˧ʈaːŋ˧˧ʔɗaːj˨˩]; 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 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.[4] She became an ABC journalist and politician, and was named as one of the 100 most influential Australian women in 2014.[5]
In 2012 she was elected as a councillor for the City of Fairfield in New South Wales. At the 2022 Australian federal election, she successfully ran as an independent candidate in the Division of Fowler in Western Sydney.[6] Le is the first refugee and Vietnamese Australian to be elected to the Australian House of Representatives.[7][8]
