Richard Di Natale: Son of Italian migrants who blazed Senate trail for Greens
Newly elected Greens leader Richard Di Natale, the son of Italian migrants, grew up in Melbourne and was a GP and public health specialist before entering politics.
The 44-year-old studied medicine at Monash University before graduating with a Master of Public Health and Health Science from La Trobe University.
During his medical career, he worked in Aboriginal health in the Northern Territory and in India, where he helped set up a drug treatment program and worked on HIV prevention.
He later described those years as "formative" and said they had shaped his view of the health system as being a social justice issue.
Senator Di Natale played VFL football for six years and remains a keen sportsman.
Elected to Federal Parliament in 2010 as the Greens' first Victorian senator, he used his maiden speech to pay tribute to his parents.
"Their story is a universal one," he said.
