ANIMAL Justice Party candidate for the seat of Page Anna Ludvik has vowed to focus on animal rights and on the people who care for them during the Federal Election campaign.

After years of deliberation and many people asking her to stand for parliament, Ms Ludvik will seek to displace Nationals MP Kevin Hogan at the July 2 poll.

"I've been asked many times by many people across the electorate to stand up for animals," Ms Ludvik said.

"It's time animals had representation in the parliament, and the people that care for animals are represented in parliament."

Ms Ludvik said she has been responding to emails from people asking her to address the issue of live exports.

"There are very few people who don't care about animals in one way or another," she said.

"We want to respond to the community's calls for people to respond to animal ... suffering and injustices."

A qualified solicitor, Ms Ludvik said animals rights issues are not her only focus.

"I think we are a unique party, we can consult closely with out community and actually represent what our community wants," she said.

"I think it's been too long that our community have been dictated to and not listened to."

Ms Ludvik said she intends to put every policy she deals with through three simple filters.

"Honesty, integrity and compassion, any policy that comes up would go through that filter," she said.

"We can just respond to the issue, we don't have to rely on anything other than our electorate to direct us and how we actually represent the people who have voted for us."

Ms Ludvik is the founder and president of the organisation Lucy's Project which was named in honour of her daughter.

The project aims to raise awareness for animals in violent homes and to highlight the links between animal abuse and domestic violence.

"I'm also a qualified solicitor and have been working as an animal advocate for over 20 years," Ms Ludvik said.

"I've worked on a number of volunteer projects in Australia, Japan and Thailand.

"It is my honest wish to help as many people and as many animals in my life."

Ms Ludvik will be attending candidate forums across Page in the lead-up to the Federal Election.
