Two years later she was the founding chairman of the Committee for the Abolition of Political Police. Her first attempts at gaining parliamentary office were unsuccessful. She stood for election for the Victorian Legislative Assembly at the 1973 and 1976 state elections, but failed to win a seat on either occasion. In 1979, nevertheless, she was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council for the Melbourne West Province. She served there until 1992. (en)
