Details
First woman to head an Australian State or Territory government, and first ACT Chief Minister, Rosemary Follett AO, has had a diverse career in both politics and the public service.
Following the dismissal of the Whitlam government, Follett became President of the ACT ALP. Her negotiation skills proved of great use during the transition to ACT self-government, where she served two terms as Chief Minister: 1989-1990 and 1991-1995, and as ACT Discrimination Commissioner from 1996 to 2004.
Not only has Follett served as Vice Chancellor at the University of Canberra, and Chair of the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies, she was also instrumental in bringing Nara as Canberra’s twin city and led a trade mission to Japan.
