| abstract | - Hannah Kwong (Chinese: 鄺冰冰; Hanyu Pinyin: Kuàng Bīngbīng) is a former Rainian politician and teacher who served as the Prime Minister of Rainier between 2003 to 2012. She was previously the Minister of Transport between 1988-90, Minister of Minister of Education, Youth and Sport between 1990-92, Labour leader and co-currently Leader of the Opposition between 2001-5, and Member of Parliament for Nanaimo—Ladysmith between 1984-2015. She currently works as the American Secretary for Education and the Youth for the Conference of American States as one of the representatives in the American Secretariat for the Social Democrats of America. She was the first female and Chinese-Rainian Minister-President. Kwong was born the daughter of Chinese immigrants in Seattle in 1954, and initially trained as a teacher. In 1984 Kwong was elected as a Labour MP for the constituency of Nanaimo—Ladysmith, being appointed as Minister of Transport (1988-90) and Education (1990-92) in the government of Matthew Griffiths until the National Union Partys victory in 1993, before being elected Labour leader in 2001. Kwong led Labour into the 2004 election, campaigning on ending Rainier's involvement in the Iraq War and instituting higher social spending. Kwong unexpectedly won the election, becoming the fourth Rainian Prime Minister from the Labour Party. As Prime Minister she implemented progressive policies, supporting the expansion of women reproductive rights and affirmative action policies, passing legalisation for gay marriage in 2007, withdrawing troops from Iraq and expanding funding for the Health Assistance Programme (HAP). Kwong adopted fiscal stimulus to deal with the great recession as well as increased taxes on the wealthy. She narrowly won the 2008 election entering into a coalition with the Green-Left Movement where in Kwong's second term she controversially intervened in Libyan Revolution and oversaw the referendum on cannabis legalisation in 2011 which passed by a margin of 2%. In response to the 2010 Lebanon High School Shooting Kwong passed the biggest gun control legalisation in Rainian history. In 2012 the government fell after the Left-Green Movement withdrew from the governing coalition over planed spending cuts and privatisations to deal with the high deficit, with Kwong leading Labour to defeat in the 2012 election. In 2016 she opted to take the role of American Secretary for Education and the Youth for the Conference of American States, stating she wishes to help engage and educate young people in politics across America. Kwong's term as Prime Minister was controversial, being applauded by the left for her progressive social and social democratic economic policies, and condemned by the right mainly over tough gun legalisation and overseeing high deficits.
