Isobel Redmond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mrs. Isobel Redmond
Isobel Redmond is an Australian politician who has been the sitting Liberal member for the electoral district of Heysen since 2002.
Prior to her election in to politics, Redmond was a solicitor and has been very heavily involved in local community activities as can be seen through her parliament profile.
The 2006 election saw Redmond decrease her margin to 3.0%, making it marginal territory. While working as a lawyer for an Aboriginal tribe on the state's West Coast, she was bestowed an Aboriginal name Joondinya, meaning dolphin. This has earned her the Parliamentary nickname Flipper.[1]
