Senator Bob Brown

Bob Brown has been a powerful voice for the environment and social justice since he was elected to the Senate in 1996. Bob is a passionate advocate for Australia's environment whether it be the magnificent oldgrowth forests of Tasmania, the dying wetlands of the New South Wales Macquarie Marshes or the beautiful Mary River and its ancient lungfish which is threatened by a proposal dam in Queensland. Bob has also been passionate defender of human rights with a long record of speaking out against the war in Iraq, the illegal detention of David Hicks and for oppressed people in East Timor, West Papua, Tibet and Burma. In his 11 years in the Senate Bob has campaigned on mandatory sentencing, the rights of asylum seekers and the rights of people with terminal illness to die with dignity.
