Senator Bob Brown

Bob Brown was elected to the Senate in 1996, after 10 years as a MHA in Tasmania's state parliament. In his first speech in the Senate, he raised the threat posed by climate change. Since 1996, Bob has continued to address issues across the national and international spectrum, such as petrol sniffing in central Australia, self-determination for West Papua and Tibet, saving Tasmania's ancient forests, opposing the war in Iraq, justice for David Hicks, stopping the sale of the Snowy Hydro scheme and opposing the dumping of nuclear waste in Australia. Bob was re-elected to the Senate in 2001.
Following the election of four Greens senators in 2004, he became parliamentary leader of the Australian Greens in 2005. The 2007 election saw him re-elected to the Senate for a third term along with two new Greens Senators in WA and SA.
