Ali France Cleared in Enrolment Probe | Australia News

Ali France, the federal Labor MP who defeated Peter Dutton in 2025, was cleared by the AEC after an enrolment probe sparked by LNP Senator James McGrath. Despite claims she was enrolled at a vacant property, the AEC found no breach — France was temporarily residing elsewhere while her Arana Hills home underwent accessibility renovations, and she planned to return. The AEC confirmed this is allowed under enrolment rules for temporary absences. McGrath also cited a town planning application suggesting her property outside her electorate was meant as her primary residence, but that too was deemed non-compliant. The investigation closed with France cleared — echoing a similar outcome for Queensland Sport Minister Tim Mander, who was also cleared and reinstated after a probe.
