Tributes flow for Labor senator after sudden death

Labor Senator Linda White’s sudden death at 64 has prompted tributes from both sides of the political spectrum. Ms White took parliamentary leave last month due to an ongoing health issue. The cause of death is yet to be made public. Ms White was elected to the Senate during the 2022 federal election. Before entering politics, she served as Assistant National Secretary of the Australian Services Union and Vice President of the ACTU.
