New Fowler MP Dai Le says she will be a 'real independent', not a teal one, after beating Labor's Kristina Keneally
The woman who beat high-profile Labor candidate Kristina Keneally in the Sydney seat of Fowler says she will be a "real independent", not a "teal" one.
Fairfield Deputy Mayor Dai Le overturned Labor's 14 per cent margin in the electorate to secure a narrow victory over the former senator and NSW premier.
Ms Le is a former ABC journalist who has previously stood for the Liberals in state elections and believes her back story resonated in the diverse electorate held by Labor since its creation in 1984.
Ms Le, who was born in Vietnam, arrived in Australia aged 11 after spending three years in a refugee camp in the Philippines.
