About Libby Coker

Born 1962. Libby Coker is an Australian politician, journalist and teacher.

Elizabeth Ann Coker (born 11 June 1962) is an Australian politician. She is a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and has been a member of the House of Representatives since the 2019 federal election, representing the Victorian seat of Corangamite. She previously served as the mayor of the Surf Coast Shire. Coker won her seat in the 2022 Australian federal election with a 6.5-point swing to the ALP.

Early life Coker was born in Melbourne on 11 June 1962. Her mother Frances Mann worked as a nurse and her father Jack Coker was a senior public servant with the Australian Broadcasting Control Board. She grew up in the suburb of Beaumaris, later moving with her family to Port Macquarie, New South Wales where Coker's activism began.

Federal Coker won the ultra-marginal seat of Corangamite at the 2019 Australian federal election, defeating Liberal incumbent Sarah Henderson. Coker had unsuccessfully contested the seat at the 2016 Australian federal election. The 2022 Australian Federal Election was won by the Australian Labor Party (ALP), winning with 77 seats forming majority in the lower house. As a result, Coker won the ultra-marginal seat of Corangamite.

Following a redistribution of electoral boundaries in 2021 by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), Coker no longer resides in the electorate she represents. The coastal towns of Anglesea and Aireys Inlet, where she resides, are now incorporated into the Division of Wannon.

In March 2024, Coker called for a stop on plans to seismic blast the Otway Basin.
