Deb Foskey was a huge influence on politics in East Gippsland for decades.
Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, Deb lived in Cabanandra in the mountains of East Gippsland, where she was instrumental in the formation of several national parks protecting old growth forests through her work in the Concerned Residents of East Gippsland.
She moved to Canberra, where she became a Greens MP before returning to East Gippsland in 2008. She passed away on May 1, 2020.
