About Ivy Weber

Lived 1892 – 1976 (aged 83). Ivy Weber was an Australian politician and physical culture.

Ivy Lavinia Weber (7 June 1892 – 6 March 1976) was an Australian politician.

Born at Captains Flat in New South Wales to schoolteacher John Filshie and his wife Elizabeth Seaman, she was educated at the local schools, eventually becoming a physical culturist and organiser. On 11 December 1915 in Sydney she married Thomas Mitchell, a stock and station agent, with whom she had one son. They moved to Melbourne, but Thomas was killed in World War I in 1917. She married her second husband, fellow physical culturist Clarence Weber, on 7 March 1919; they had one son and two daughters.

Following her husband's death in 1930, she experimented with several occupations, including as a lecturer on health and diet and a Country Party organiser. In 1937, she was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Nunawading, as an independent. She generally supported Country Party Premier Albert Dunstan in the Assembly. She resigned from the Assembly in 1943 to contest the federal seat of Henty in the election of that year; she came fifth in a field of six candidates with 3.9% of the vote, and the seat was won by another independent, Arthur Coles.
