Jane Garrett
Jane Garrett was a prominent Australian politician who served as the Minister for Emergency Services in Victoria. Known for her strong principles and commitment to her role, she gained notoriety for her refusal to endorse a controversial deal with the United Firefighters Union, which she believed would compromise the integrity of the Country Fire Authority. Garrett's steadfastness in the face of immense pressure ultimately led to her resignation in 2016, and her legacy was further solidified by a recent anti-corruption report that vindicated her stance against powerful union interests, although it came too late for her, as she passed away from breast cancer in 2022.
