Ruth Webber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruth Stephanie Webber (b. March 24, 1965) is an Australian Labor Party Senator for the state of Western Australia.

Before becoming a sitting Member of Parliament, Webber was actively involved in politics. She has been a member of the Labor Party since 1984 and had held numerous positions within the party before her election to the Senate in 2001. Her term in the Senate began on July 1, 2002.

In October 2006 she lost a preselection contest and was moved to an unwinable place on the Labor Senate ticket.[1] This virtually guarantees the end of her term in the Senate in mid 2008.
