About Janice Munt

Born 1955. Janice Munt is an Australian politician and business executive.

Janice Ruth Munt (born 3 November 1955) is an Australian politician who represented the Labor Party in the Electoral district of Mordialloc from 2002 to 2010.

Early life

Munt was born in Melbourne, Victoria and educated at Highett High School. Before entering politics she worked variously as a company director, shop assistant, hair dresser's assistant, waitress, cook, clerk, employee of the Federal Department of Education, and customer service agent and was a volunteer with homeless, school, kindergarten, environmental, health and women’s organisations.

Political career

A member of the Labor Party, Munt ran for the Electoral district of Sandringham at the 1999 Victorian state election, earning a small swing in her favour.

She contested the neighbouring Electoral district of Mordialloc at the 2002 Victorian state election, defeating incumbent Liberal MP Geoff Leigh with a 7 percent swing in her favour.
