Biography
Brown comes from a family with a long Labor tradition. Her great-grandmother Mary Butler was a founding member of the Hobart branch of the ALP, her grandfathers and father were strong trade unionists, her late uncle Leo Brown was a Tasmanian state ALP president, and her niece Allison Ritchie was a member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council.
Brown was an administrative Officer with the Tasmanian ALP from 1984 to 1996, an advisor to Senator Mackay 1996 to 1998, and a senior public servant in the Tasmanian Department of Premier and Cabinet from 1998 to 2002.

Brown, a member of Labor's left faction,[1] was appointed to the Senate by the Tasmanian Parliament due to the casual vacancy created by the resignation of Senator Sue Mackay.
