Formerly a lawyer, lecturer, mediator, and Tribunal Member, she was also a Australian Greens senator for South Australia, elected at the 2010 election. She resigned in September 2015. Early lifeWright was born in 1961 at Red Cliffs in the Sunraysia region of Victoria, the sixth of seven children of Lesley and Hugh Wright.[2][3] She spent much of her childhood growing up in Melbourne after her family moved there in 1968. Wright attended Wattle Park High School in Burwood before moving to MacRobertson Girls' High School for high achievers. After completing high school she studied arts/law at the University of Melbourne,[2] later obtaining a graduate diploma in Environmental Studies in Adelaide.[4] Wright spent 20 years working as a lawyer prior to her election to parliament.[5] She became the Guardian for Children and Young People in Care on 10 July 2017.[6] Political careerWright is a founding member of the South Australian branch of the Greens (along with her husband Mark Parnell, a state MLC, generally considered the founder of the South Australian Greens). According to Wright, she postponed her political career at the time (1995) to raise children.[2][7] Wright was placed first on the South Australian Greens Senate ticket for the 2010 federal election. The party received a 6.8 percent swing in South Australia, finishing with 13.3 percent of the statewide Senate vote. Wright joined eight other Green Senators in the upper house from the start of July 2011, including incumbent South Australian Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young.[8][9] On commencing her senate term in July 2011, Wright was assigned the portfolios of Attorney-General, Native Title, Veterans' Affairs, Social Inclusion, Mental Health[7] and Heritage within the federal Greens.[10] She went on to hold the Attorney-General, Veterans' Affairs, Mental Health and Schools and Education Portfolios.[11] On 17 July 2015, Wright announced that she would be resigning from the Senate due to illness in her family.[12] She gave her final speech on 19 August,[13] and resigned on 9 September.[14] Robert Simms was appointed to the casual vacancy by a joint sitting of the Parliament of South Australia on 22 September 2015.[15] Personal lifeWright is married to Mark Parnell with whom she moved to Adelaide in 1989 following 9 months in Europe.[2] Wright and Parnell have three children, Felix, Eleanor and Mungo.[2][16][17] Following Mungo's suicide at the age of 21 in September 2016, his parents used his death to raise awareness of organ donation after donating his corneas.[18] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22handbook%2Fallmps%2F200287%22 |title=Biography for WRIGHT, Penelope (Penny) Lesley |publisher=Parliament of Australia |accessdate=1 July 2011}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news |url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/wrights-green-lite/story-fn3o6wog-1226080693397 |title=Greens duo putting family first |first=Andrew |last=Fenton |publisher=News Corporation |work=The Advertiser |date=25 June 2011 |accessdate=26 June 2011}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Penny Wright sets Greens agenda in the Riverland |url=http://www.riverlandweekly.com.au/public/template4/threadview.aspx?tid=38183 |work=Riverland Weekly |date=11 August 2010 |first=Les |last=Pearson |accessdate=9 September 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100823072640/http://www.riverlandweekly.com.au/Public/Template4/ThreadView.aspx?tid=38183 |archivedate=23 August 2010 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/senators/wright.htm |title=ABC Q&A |accessdate=4 August 2011}} 5. ^{{cite press release |date=17 April 2010 |url=http://greensmps.org.au/content/media-release/sa-needs-another-progressive-voice-senate |title=SA Needs Another Progressive Voice in the Senate |publisher=Australian Greens |accessdate=26 May 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gcyp.sa.gov.au/about-2/the-staff-team/ |title=The Guardian’s staff team |publisher=Guardian for Children and Young People in Care |accessdate=4 February 2019}} 7. ^1 {{Cite web |url=http://newmatilda.com/2011/07/08/just-another-earnest-green-from-sa |work=New Matilda |date=8 July 2011 |accessdate=8 July 2011 |title=Just Another Earnest Green From South Australia?
