Cynthia Lillian Lui (born 17 February 1977) is an Australian politician. She has been the Australian Labor Party member for Cook in the Queensland Legislative Assembly since 2017.[1] Originally from Yam Island in the Torres Strait, Lui is the first Torres Strait Islander to be elected to any parliament.[2][3] She worked as a community worker in Cairns to win internally as a representative for Cook, she then went on to secure her place within the Labor Party as the preferred candidate.[4] Lui gave her maiden speech in the Queensland Parliament on 15 February 2018.[5]
