South Australian Greens Senator Barbara Pocock is stepping down from politics after being diagnosed with brain cancer, announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2028. She’ll serve out her current term and remain focused on housing affordability, workers’ rights, and holding big financial firms accountable. A former economist and union activist with a deep commitment to gender equality, Pocock has championed housing justice and workplace fairness since her 2022 election. Her decision reflects a personal priority for family, while her legacy of advocacy continues through key parliamentary inquiries and her enduring belief that more women in parliament are vital to tackling systemic inequality.
