Jacklyn Anne "Jackie" Trad (born 25 April 1972) is an Australian Labor Party (ALP) politician who is the member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland for electoral district of South Brisbane after winning the 2012 South Brisbane by-election.[1]
The by-election was held after the resignation of the previous Labor Party incumbent and former Premier Anna Bligh.[2]
On 29 April 2012, Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk appointed Trad as Shadow Minister for Transport, the Environment and the Arts.
Trad is the second daughter of Lebanese immigrants; Lebanese-Arabic was her first language. The family returned to Lebanon in 1979 to live in Beirut for one year where she attended the International College. Back in Australia, she attended Lourdes Hill College. She began an arts degree at Griffith University and completed a Master of Public Policy at the University of Sydney. Like Bligh, Trad is a member of the ALP's left-wing faction.[3]
