Kathleen Joan Venn OAM (12 November 1926 – 26 May 2019) was an Australian politician. Born in Tasmania, she was a Labor member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council from 1976 to 1982, representing the seat of Hobart. In 1982, she was defeated.[1] She ran for the Senate in the 1984 election as an independent affiliated with Senator Brian Harradine, and received 8.6% of the vote, but preferences from Labor and the Nuclear Disarmament Party gave the seventh seat to Democrat Norm Sanders, who had 6% of the vote.[2] In 2005 Venn was inducted to the Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women for service to the Community.
