Political career

In 1999, Duncan was preselected as the Labor candidate for the Liberal-held seat of Gisborne, held by retiring Liberal incumbent Tom Reynolds. Duncan defeated Liberal MLC Rob Knowles on a swing of nine percent. Her victory was part of an unexpected swing to Labor in country Victoria that allowed Steve Bracks to win government. The seat was abolished in 2002, and Duncan followed most of her constituents into Macedon, which she represented until her retirement in 2014.[1]
