	Despoja makes smart move
		Stott Despoja, perhaps the most notable of a string of Democrats women (not least Janine Haynes and Cheryl Kernot) to bring attention and votes to what was once a genuine "third way" party, has plenty of time.
		Stott Despoja has been at the helm for nine months and I can't think of a chief executive who would be content to lead an organisation for this long without a firm understanding of its core business,'' he wrote, disparagingly, after the Democrats lousy showing in the 2002 South Australian election.
		While Stott Despoja has been an adherent to well-articulated centre-left ideologies since her teenage years, it is perhaps an unfortunate fact that the combination of her youth and gender have combined to promote her celebrity ahead of her politics.

		Natasha Stott Despoja: Look, I heard a lot about those rumours, and theories have been floated even in today's papers, but I think there is a point at which leaders or former leaders, especially if they lose their position, but stay in a party, have to acknowledge that they become part of their team.
		Natasha Stott Despoja: I certainly believe that all the members of my parliamentary wing under my leadership were in favour of and supported the party.
		Natasha Stott Despoja: Senator Murray today is obviously very - well, that says - that's not supposed to be an allusion to anything, except that you have a party that is confronting a difficult circumstance and I'm glad to see my colleagues have pulled together at this time.

		Stott Despoja is the youngest person to lead a major Australian political party, and in 1995 became the youngest female to be elected to parliament.
		Stott Despoja was vocal in her opposition to the deal former leader Lees struck with the government over the GST and her first move as new leader has been to signal that the party will revisit its tax policy.
		Stott Despoja's appeal to younger voters is undoubted, with few other Australian politicans able to inspire fan-club websites complete with photo galleries and details of her likes and dislikes along with her policy positions.

		Senator Stott Despoja's supporters claim the Democrats were clearly hurt by GST and cite poor results in recent state elections and the Ryan by-election as evidence of the damage caused to the party.
		STOTT DESPOJA: I wouldn't run then, no. I didn't think I was ready and I discussed it with Meg Lees and she was happy and confident of running.
		STOTT DESPOJA: I believe that Prime Minister Howard deserves - not to be punished - but I think he's going to be thrown out of office if he continues to ignore the way that his policies are affecting ordinary Australians.

	Reality finally bites Democrats' leader - 23 February 2002
		However, the closer you look at Stott Despoja is the fact that, far from being the voice of youth and "the new" in politics, she is the torch bearer of "old feminism" with a young face.
		Stott Despoja is a regurgitator of most of the tired old ideologies of feminism and environmentalism from the 1970s she uncritically picked up at while doing an Arts Degree at Adelaide University and playing student politics.
		Stott Despoja was blamed for being out of the country for most of the campaign (she was in the United States to pick up an award and visit New York), but there are clearly deeper problems than neglected campaigns.

	Interview: Senator Natasha Stott Despoja
		STOTT DESPOJA: Well, if we have up to twenty per cent of Australians who are still considering, you know, twenty-five per cent of Australians in some polls, have said that they do oppose government actions on this issue.
		STOTT DESPOJA: No it doesn't, but I'm still heartened by the fact that when I get into taxis and I walk along the street and I meet with school kids that there are people still expressing some concern about the handling of this issue.
		STOTT DESPOJA: No. Contrary to a beat-up in an Adelaide paper today, I'm not, because I recognise that this job is my life and priority for the, you know, for the next few years, of course.

	natasha stott despoja
		Democrat Senator Natasha Stott Despoja has become somewhat of an icon for young people through the last couple of years with appearances on Good News Week and Triple J. She’s a woman with a mind, and strongly believes in social welfare issues, most specifically unemployment and women’s issues.
		Stott Despoja how strongly the Democrats take women’s issues, given that it is becoming more difficult for a woman to receive higher education, and we are seeing a lot less of a debate surrounding anti violence against women in parliament.
		One Nation have also been on the campaign against it, however Stott Despoja doesn’t think that their reasons are necessarily reflective of the more decisive consequences of signing it.

		Natasha Stott Despoja’s fall from the leadership of the Australian Democrats is a stark example, and it is dramatically evoked in Alison Rogers’ The Natasha Factor.
		Rogers was a Stott Despoja ‘staffer’ and her chief media adviser during the sixteen months of her leadership (April 2001–August 2002), and this status informs her recollections and writing.
		Stott Despoja understood that he was back unconditionally but Murray let it be known that he had returned on certain conditions.

		Stott Despoja is nodding avidly, since she speaks for her party on science, but her focus on Thomas - who just happened to walk into the Adelaide seaside kiosk where we're drinking coffee - means her son Conrad has to take a back seat (literally) with dad in a nearby car.
		It's tempting to think that Stott Despoja had a life-changing moment during her health crisis, a sudden realisation that it was time to focus on the things that really mattered.
		Stott Despoja doesn't accept that her decision to quit endangers the party.

		Stott Despoja understands that her media popularity comes with a political price tag, and she is only too eager to pay it.
		This is behind the portrayal of Stott Despoja as the voice of youth, a portrayal which is based on little more than her age and her public position against student fees.

	Green Left - Feminist column: and ain't i a woman?: Making a difference?
		Stott Despoja herself is deputy leader of a party which voted for the Coalition government's anti-worker, anti-women Workplace Relations Act, and, with only minor modifications, the GST, which disproportionately disadvantages poorer people, the majority of whom are women.
		While Stott Despoja and her sisters in the WEDO would probably not argue that all women in positions of power are progressive, their focus on this sort of campaign takes the focus off what would make a difference.
		In Australia, Stott Despoja would, if she is serious about improving women's lives, become part of a political force which will seriously challenge the anti-women, anti-worker status quo, not remain an apologist (albeit with good career prospects) for a party which merely spouts indignant hot air before capitulating to its conservative older sibling in government.
