Rosemary Kyburz describes how she became interested in politics while teaching in Argentina after being shocked by the 'macho' culture of that country. On return to Australia she stood for the Liberal Party in 1972 in the Queensland state seat of Salisbury, with the support of her local tennis club and no campaign money. She had no problem getting endorsement as it was a safe Labor seat and no men were willing to nominate. She did not win.
