Penelope Lesley "Penny" Wright (born 19 January 1961) is a former Australian Greens senator for South Australia, elected at the 2010 election and serving until her resignation in September 2015, succeeded by Robert Simms.
Early life
Wright was born in 1961 at Red Cliffs in the Sunraysia region of Victoria, the sixth of seven children of Lesley and Hugh Wright. 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, later obtaining a graduate diploma in Environmental Studies in Adelaide.
Wright spent 20 years working as a lawyer prior to her election to parliament.
Political career
Wright 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.

"Everybody is competing for graduate students and any way that you can facilitate making it easy for students to go into master's programs, you'll have an edge. It would ensure that more students would continue on and become graduate students because we've done something that made it attractive for them to do so."
"We've scheduled about 20 this semester."
"So many students today use the Web as a source of information. There's going to be an interactive feel; the dean is actually talking to the students from the Web site."
