Title: Tanya Plibersek :on her own terms /Margaret Simons. Author: Simons, Margaret,(author.). Location: B PLI Subject: Biographies. Politicians -- Australia Women legislators -- Australia--Biography. Corporate Name: Australian Labor Party ISBN: 9781760643386 Collation: 340 pages ; 24 cm. Summary Note: "Elected to federal parliament aged just twenty-eight, Tanya Plibersek has lived almost half her life in the public eye and is the longest-serving woman in Australia's House of Representatives. But how much do we know about what drives her, what she values, and what we can expect from her next? Plibersek was born in Sydney to Slovenian parents, both of whom fled post-war Europe as young adults. Their experiences as migrants would profoundly shape the lives of their children. Driven by a commitment to social justice, Plibersek joined the Labor Party at a time of intense factional battles for the party's future and emerged as part of a new generation of ALP leaders. Throughout her career she has campaigned for reform on issues such as violence against women, paid parental leave and rights for same-sex couples. Award-winning journalist Margaret Simons draws on exclusive interviews with Plibersek, her political contemporaries, family and close friends to trace this modern Australian story. She considers Plibersek's role in the Rudd and Gillard governments, Labor's soul-searching years in opposition and Plibersek's position in the Albanese cabinet. Simons also sheds light on the personal currents that have carried Plibersek, through moments of joy and tragedy, to become the person she is today." - Back cover.
