Hetty Margarete Johnston {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AM}} (born 27 September 1958), is the founder and Executive Director of Bravehearts Inc., an organisation advocating for better child protection in Australia. She is a lobbyist, who often highlights and promotes action against pedophilia within media, families, schools and in the general community.

Johnston has published a book detailing her beliefs called In the Best Interests of the Child.[1]

Politics

Johnston was the Australian Democrats candidate for Fadden at the 1996 federal election, and an independent Senate candidate for Queensland at the 2004 federal election.[2] At the 2001 Queensland state election, Johnston stood as an independent in the electorate of Springwood.[3]

She ran for Mayor of Logan City in October 2015, but withdrew to care for her elderly mother.[4][5][6] Johnston also unsuccessfully ran as an independent candidate for the seat of Macalister in the 2017 Queensland state election.[7]
