Luke Aquinas Foley (born 27 June 1970) is a former Australian Labor Party politician who served as the Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament of New South Wales from 2015 to 2018.

[4] In an interview conducted when he became NSW Opposition Leader, Foley stated his mother instilled in him a triple faith of "the Labor Party, the Catholic Church and the Eastern Suburbs Rugby League Club".

Referring to that period in his first speech in the NSW Parliament, Foley stated:[7] For seven years I organised and represented workers predominantly working in the social and community services sector.

[10] He describes himself as a "practising Catholic on the Left of politics"[11][12][13] Foley voted in favour of same sex adoption bill in 2010[14][15] and in 2015 announced his support behind federal legislation for same-sex marriage.

In October 2018, NSW Corrections Minister David Elliott raised an allegation in the Legislative Assembly about an incident where Foley had "a little bit too much to drink at a party and harassed an ABC journalist.

"[26] Later that month, ABC journalist Ashleigh Raper released a statement, alleging that at an event in November 2016, Foley "placed his hand down the back of her dress and inside her underpants.

"[27] Hours later, Foley read a statement in which he resigned as leader of the Labor Party, but denied the allegation and said he would commence defamation proceedings against Raper in the Federal Court.

[31][32][33] He was condemned by Premier Gladys Berejiklian for his view that an influx of people of non-European descent had driven many Anglo Australians to leave parts of Sydney.
