Early life and career

Fiona Stewart was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1966. She was educated at Lauriston Girls' School.[1] She received her BA from Monash University in 1987 followed by a Graduate Diploma in Public Policy (Melbourne University) in 1992, Master of Policy and Law (La Trobe University) in 1994 and her Ph.D. in health sciences from Latrobe in 1998. She graduated from Charles Darwin University Law School in 2015. From 1997 to 1999 Stewart held a postdoctoral fellowship at Deakin University for the study of ‘Womens Lives: Choice, Change and Identity’.[2] When her contract was not renewed, she turned to writing opinion columns for the media on Generation X and feminism.[3]

Prior to working with Nitschke on The Peaceful Pill eHandbook and in Exit International,[4] Stewart worked as an opinion writer for The Age, The Australian and other Australian papers and media outlets,[5][6] and as an online learning consultant with Professor Dale Spender.[7][8]

In 2001, Stewart founded the consumer complaints website Notgoodenough.org,[9][10] where she was active in promoting the consumer standpoint and criticising big businesses such as Telstra, the national carrier.[11]

She has participated widely in Australian public debate on varied current affairs issues.[3][12]
