Elizabeth Mary "Giz" Watson (born 18 January 1957) is an English-born former Australian politician, and a former leader of The Greens, Western Australia.

Watson was born in 1957 in Eastleigh, a town in Hampshire, England, and emigrated to Western Australia in September 1967, travelling extensively through the state.

It was soon after this that she joined an anarchist building collective in London, with everyone from architects to labourers getting the same pay, making decisions equally and subsidising worthy projects.

[citation needed] Watson campaigned in parliament on a number of issues, including the banning of uranium mining and radioactive waste disposal in Western Australia.

[5] She also campaigned against female genital mutilation since at least 1998, and in 2004 successfully lobbied Jim McGinty, the WA Attorney-General, to introduce laws making the practice a crime.

Watson and Labor MP Sally Talbot have spoken out against uranium mining, nuclear power, and radioactive waste disposal in WA.
