{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2016}}{{Use Australian English|date=August 2016}}Diana Vivienne Laidlaw (born 2 September 1951), commonly referred to as Di Laidlaw, is a former Australian Liberal politician. She was a member of the South Australian Legislative Council (1982–2003) and held several ministerial posts.^[1]

Biography

Laidlaw was born in London, the daughter of Donald Laidlaw and Vivienne Laidlaw (née Perry), both law graduates of the University of Adelaide.^[2] Her grandfather was the founder of Perry Engineering. Her early political career was as an assistant to state and federal politicians before being elected to the Legislative Council in 1982. She entered cabinet in 1993 when the Brown government (1993-1996) came to power in the 1993 election, where she remained under the subsequent Olsen (1996-2001) and Kerin (2001-2002) governments, following which the Liberals lost power.^[3]

Political career

Laidlaw variously served as the Minister for Transport (1995–1997), the Minister for Transport and Urban Planning (1997–2002), the Minister for the Arts (1993–2002), and the Minister for the Status of Women (1993–2002).^[3]

In 2001, while Minister for the status of Women, she saw her government's prostitution reform bill defeated in the Legislative Council. She is said to have been moved to tears, and called her colleagues "gutless", as reported by one local media source.^[4]
