Andy Meddick (born 5 April 1964)[1] is a former Australian politician. He was an Animal Justice Party member of the Victorian Legislative Council from 2018 to 2022, representing Western Victoria Region,[2] and was the first politician elected in Victoria on an animal protection platform.
Meddick previously worked in construction and was motivated to start his political career when he heard the screams of animals while he worked next to a Laverton pig slaughterhouse in 2013.[3] Meddick began handing out how-to-vote cards for the Animal Justice Party before the 2013 federal election and formed the regional group of the AJP.[3] He contested the federal seat of Corangamite in 2016.[3]
