Sandra Kanck

Sandra Kanck was a member of the South Australian Legislative Council where she represented the Australian Democrats for 15 years, retiring in early 2009. She has continued her activism on numerous fronts, including voluntary assisted dying and heading the state branch of ABC Friends. However, her continuing focus has been on two issues, one being the need for Australia to have population numbers in keeping with the environment’s capacity to sustain them, and Palestinian human rights. In relation to Palestine, Sandra has been active in the BDS (boycott, divest and sanction) movement for more than 13 years.
