Peg Putt
Margaret Ann "Peg" Putt (born 5 June 1953) is a former Australian politician and parliamentary leader of the Tasmanian Greens.
==Early life==
Putt was born in Sydney and attended school at Hornsby High School. At the age of 16, she won a scholarship to the Australian International Independent School in Epping. At this time, Putt was also part of organising High School Students against Vietnam. She then travelled to the United Kingdom where she studied a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in international relations, at the University of Sussex, graduating with Honours.
After completing her degree, Putt travelled back to Australia through Asia, and in 1975 got a job developing pollution control programs at Botany, at a time when the NSW Environment Protection Agency had just been set up. In the late 1970s Putt moved up to Nimbin, and camped at a commune. She later moved to the Northern Territory to work with Aboriginal communities on Elcho Island in Arnhem land. She then moved to live on Dangar Island in the Hawkesbury, NSW.
She moved to Tasmania in 1986 with her partner and two daughters, where she became spokesperson for the Huon Protection Group which succeeded in stopping development of a new woodchip mill on the Huon River. She also founded the Tasmanian Threatened Species Network and was director of the Tasmanian Conservation Trust.〔Sue Neales, "Living the Green dream", ''The Mercury'', 11 March 2006〕
