Andrew Raymond Gordon Fraser (born 19 December 1952), an Australian politician, was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1990 to 2019, representing Coffs Harbour for the Nationals.[1]
Fraser was educated in Newcastle at Kahibah Primary and Whitebridge High Schools. He has worked in finance industry and as an insurance broker and has been the proprietor of a take-away food shop and of a caravan park. He is married with three children.[2]
Fraser is noted for chasing and grabbing then Minister for Roads, Joe Tripodi, on the floor of the House in September 2005, apparently in relation to a lack of funding for the main roads, including the Pacific Highway in Coffs Harbour.[3] The ABC's coverage of the 2007 election included the caption "Andrew Fraser the strangler won." He became deputy leader of the NSW Nationals in March 2007,[4] before he was deposed during a leadership spill in October 2008.[5]
On 3 December 2008, Fraser resigned from the shadow ministry after pushing fellow Nationals MP Katrina Hodgkinson in the Legislative Assembly.[5] Hodgkinson was trying to move Fraser away from a verbal confrontation with Labor MP John Aquilina.
