Liz Behjat

Elizabeth Lloyd Behjat (née Williams; born 30 December 1958) is an Australian politician who was a Liberal Party member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 2009 to 2017, representing North Metropolitan Region.

Behjat was born in Wolverhampton, England, where her Welsh-born father, John Williams, was working as a teacher.

The family arrived in Western Australia in 1966, and her father entered politics a few years later, serving in the Legislative Council from 1971 to 1989.

She was later employed as a conveyancer, an administrative officer, a casino manager (at the Burswood Casino), a para-legal, and an electorate officer.

[2] Behjat was re-elected to a second four-year term in 2013, but she was defeated for Liberal preselection at the 2017 election, meaning her term in the Legislative Council concluded in May 2017.
