Kristy Louise McBain (born 29 September 1982[citation needed]) is an Australian politician. She currently represents the division of Eden-Monaro,[1] and is the Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories.[2]

Personal life[edit]

McBain was born in Traralgon, Victoria.[3] Her family moved to the Bega Valley in the 1990s and ran a small sporting store in Merimbula.[4]

McBain attended Eden Marine High School, before completing a double degree in Law/Communications at the University of Canberra.[5]

McBain met her husband Brad in high school and runs a small plumbing business.[4] They and their three children live in Tura Beach.[5]

Political career[edit]

McBain became a councillor for Bega Valley Shire in September 2012 and became the mayor in September 2016.[6][3]

McBain resigned as mayor and councillor in March 2020 to contest the July 2020 Eden-Monaro by-election for the Labor Party. She won the seat for the party with 50.4% of the two-party-preferred vote and was sworn in as a member of parliament on 24 August 2020.[7]
