Rosemary Kyburz discusses her decision to stand in the 1974 Queensland state election for the seat of Salisbury for the Liberal Party as again no male wanted endorsement. She had $500 campaign money, the support of the tennis club and had two dozen election posters printed for a large electorate that took in Woodridge, what is now Algester, and Moorooka. Because Joh Bjelke-Petersen campaigned on an anti-Whitlam platform, Kyburz was elected. Only two women were elected in 1974, Kyburz and Vicky Kippin (National Party, Mourilyan electorate) in north Queensland.
