Alison "Ali" Mau (born 14 February 1965) is an Australian-born New Zealand television journalist and presenter. She was a co-host of TVNZ show Seven Sharp, but left at the end of 2013 to work at Radio Live.
Born in Melbourne, Mau's first reporting job was for the Warracknabeal Herald in northern Victoria at age 18. In 1984 she was hired by the Melbourne Herald. She moved to London in 1990 and presented and reported for World Business Report on BBC World. She returned to Australia in 1993 but moved to New Zealand soon after, where she was soon employed by TVNZ.
Her first television appearance was on the business-related current affairs show Made in New Zealand. Mau would later present late-night current affairs programming including Eyewitness and Newsnight, the latter of which she presented alongside Marcus Lush and her future husband Simon Dallow.
After a period reporting for ONE News, Mau began presenting the Breakfast programme with Mike Hosking. She returned to ONE News after the birth of her second child and, from 1999 to 2003, presented the weekend news alongside husband Simon Dallow. She returned to Breakfast in 2004 but left at the end of the year to join rival network Prime Television, where she worked with former TVNZ presenter Paul Holmes. She was made redundant from Prime when the station was taken over by Sky in early 2006 and returned to TVNZ in 2008.
