Biography
Australian school teacher prior to entering politics. On 5/13/1967 she married Ian Haines; two daughters. In the mid-'70s, she discovered the fascination of the political arena and was appointed to the Dem. senate on 10/18/1980. Haines succeeded Don Chipp as Dem. leader on 8/17/1986 where she quickly adapted to Canberra's "schoolboy" political environment, surviving two leadership challenges her first year.
On 7/11/1987, Bob Hawke and Labor won the federal election but Senator Haines and her small band of Democrats held the balance of power in the senate. She resigned her seat in 1990 to try for the House of Rep, but on 3/24/1990, was unsuccessful in her bid. She retired from politics, publishing her book in 1992, "Suffrage to Sufferance: 100 Years of Women in Politics."
