In a historic win in the recent Australia Elections 2013, Nova Peris has become the first aboriginal woman in the country to become a Parliament member.
The former Olympian who also won a gold medal will occupy a place in the Senate as the representative of the Northern Territory with the Australian Labour Party supporting her. After her opponent, Luke Gosling, conceded in the weekend elections, Ms Peris gave her victory speech as
the newly-elected representative to occupy the Lower House seat of Solomon.
She was overwhelmed by her victory and broke down in front of Labour supporters. She made a reference to her selection for the Hockeyroos team in 1996 in the opening of her speech. She also spoke about her reservations when she was initially asked be a Labour party member.
