Women in the Victorian Legislative Assembly
Encyclopedia
There have been 72 women in the Victorian Legislative Assembly
since its establishment in 1856. Women have had the right to vote in the Assembly since 1908 and the right to stand as a candidate since 1923.
The first successful candidate for the Legislative Assembly was Millie Peacock
, who was elected as a United Australia Party
representative for Allandale
in a by-election in 1933, but she retired in 1935, stating that Parliament was "no place for a woman". Ivy Weber
was the first woman to win a seat at a general election, winning Nunawading
as an independent in 1937 (she was also the first female independent elected in Australia); she was joined by Labor's first female MP, Fanny Brownbill
, in 1938 after a by-election for the seat of Geelong
. Weber resigned in 1943 and Brownbill died in 1948; following this there were no women in the Assembly until 1967, when Dorothy Goble was elected as the Liberal
member for Mitcham
. Since then women have been continuously represented in the Assembly.
The first female minister was Labor's Pauline Toner
, who became a minister in 1982. Since then, numbers of women have continued to rise. The first and to date only National Party
woman, Jeanette Powell
, was elected to the Assembly in 2002; that election also brought 11 new Labor women into the Assembly. Since Ivy Weber, only one other woman (Susan Davies
) has been elected to the Assembly as an independent.
