Allison Anne "Ali" France (pron. /ˈeɪliː/ "AYY-lee"; née Lawlor; born 13 May 1973) is an Australian politician who has served as the member for Dickson in the House of Representatives since 2025 as a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP).
France previously contested her seat in 2019 and 2022, both times losing to the incumbent Liberal Party MP Peter Dutton. On her third attempt in the 2025 election, she unseated Dutton, who was the Leader of the Opposition at the time, and became the first Labor MP from Dickson since Cheryl Kernot lost the seat to Dutton in 2001. She also became the first challenger to defeat a sitting Opposition Leader in their own seat.
