Jane Furneaux Garrett (16 de marzo de 1973 – 2 de julio de 2022) fue una política australiana. Fue miembro del Partido Laborista por Brunswick en la Asamblea Legislativa de Victoria desde 2010 hasta 2018, cuando pasó al Consejo Legislativo de Victoria en representación de Victoria Oriental . [ 2 ]

Primeros años y educación

Garrett nació y se crió en el norte de Melbourne y se educó en Radford College [ 3 ] seguido de la Universidad Nacional Australiana , donde estudió derecho.

Carrera

Jane se convirtió en asistente del juez Alan Boultan de la Comisión Australiana de Relaciones Laborales en 1997, fue pasante de Holding Redlich en 1998, funcionaria sindical del Sindicato de Trabajadores del Transporte en 1999, asesora principal de Steve Bracks de 2000 a 2004 y abogada en Slater and Gordon de 2004 a 2010. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] También fue concejala de la ciudad de Yarra de 2008 a 2010 y alcaldesa en 2010. [ 6 ]

Parlamento de Victoria

Garrett was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 2010 state election after winning Labor endorsement to contest the increasingly marginal seat of Brunswick.[7][4] In 2011, she was elected national junior vice-president of the Labor Party, serving in that capacity until 2017.[8][9] In opposition, Garrett was Parliamentary Secretary to the Shadow Minister for Police and Emergency Services from February 2012 to December 2013 and Shadow Cabinet Secretary from December 2013 until Labor's victory at the 2014 state election.[4]

Garrett became Minister for Emergency Services and Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation in December 2014 following Labor's return to government.[4] She was reportedly viewed at one stage as a potential future Labor leader.[10] She resigned from the Andrews Ministry on 9 June 2016 following a bitter dispute between the Country Fire Authority (CFA), the United Firefighters Union, and the Victorian government over an enterprise bargaining agreement, during which she had publicly fallen out with Premier Daniel Andrews.[11]

In November 2016, Garrett announced on a Facebook post that she had recently undergone a successful operation for breast cancer, and would be taking four months' leave from parliament for treatment and recovery.[12]

Following Garrett's resignation from Cabinet, she was credited with a key role in the shift of her Industrial Left subfaction, which included the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, away from Andrews' Socialist Left faction and into an alliance with right-wing powerbroker Adem Somyurek.[13][14]

On 27 September 2017, Garrett announced she would not contest Brunswick at the next state election, and would seek preselection for the Victorian Legislative Council seat of Western Metropolitan Region.[15] Her preselection bid was unsuccessful, with Labor's left faction backing Ingrid Stitt, branch secretary of the Australian Services Union.[16] However, she was saved from losing preselection when a wide-ranging deal proposed by Somyurek saw her preselected to head the Labor ticket in Eastern Victoria Region, and she successfully shifted to the Legislative Council at the 2018 election.[4][13][17]

In her new capacity in the Legislative Council, Garrett served as Parliamentary Secretary for Jobs from 2018 until her death.[4] In December 2021, Garrett announced that she would retire from politics at the 2022 state election.[10]

Death

Garrett's cancer returned in 2022, and she died on 2 July 2022 at the age of 49 in Melbourne.[18]
