Description

Jo Hersey reckons she’s had two jobs her entire life, and she’s loved them equally.


She’s a hairdresser by trade, having trained in one of Adelaide’s biggest salons before moving north for love and owning her own salons in the decades that followed. 


She’s also currently the Member for Katherine, and you’d be hard pressed finding someone who loves the Top End town more than her.


But she’s also a mum of three, hates mango, believes in manifesting, and is still, 25 years on, emotionally moved by the events of the Katherine Flood in 1998.
