She was a member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly from 1977 to 1997, representing Tiwi until 1983, Koolpinyah until 1990 and Nelson thereafter. First elected as a member of the Country Liberal Party, she was a minister from 1983 until Paul Everingham's retirement in 1984. In 1987 she lost CLP preselection, but was re-elected as an Independent. She retired in 1997 and endorsed another independent candidate, David Tollner, who narrowly failed to win election. Her daughter, Kezia Purick, was elected to the seat of Goyder as a CLP member in 2008.[1]
