Lindy Nelson-Carr

Lindel Helena Nelson-Carr (born 15 July 1952) is a former Australian politician who was the member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland for Mundingburra from 1998 until she stood down at the 2012 state election.

She increased her margin to 10.54 per cent at the 2006 election; this result went against the statewide trend of a slight swing against Labor.

Four days after the election, on 13 September 2006, Nelson-Carr was promoted to the Cabinet in the Beattie Ministry as Minister for Environment and Multiculturalism.

A year later, when Anna Bligh became Premier, Nelson-Carr was moved to the portfolio of Minister for Communities, Disability Services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Partnerships, Multicultural Affairs, Seniors and Youth.

Ms Nelson-Carr established a Townsville branch of EMILY's List and holds fundraisers regularly to contribute to the organisation.
