GREENS candidate for Bateman Adie Wilmot had her fist taste of politics almost 30 years ago when she took an active role protesting the introduction of HECS as young university student.
She said that even back then she was attracted to the Greens for its stances on nuclear non-proliferation, indigenous rights and harm minimisation health policy.
Since then, the Bull Creek resident and mother of two has achieved degrees in sustainable development and psychology, taught English in remote WA and in Europe and promoted sustainable tourism in India.
She said that over the past 20 years she had admired Greens parliamentarians working with community groups to try and protect places like the old-growth forests of the South-West, the Burrup and James Price peninsulas and the Beeliar Wetlands.
