Rebecca Peta White (born 4 February 1983) is an Australian politician. She grew up in Nugent, and studied Commerce and Arts at the University of Tasmania before working for Labor MP for Denison Duncan Kerr.
For the 2010 Tasmanian state election, White was endorsed as one of the Labor candidates for Lyons. Her campaign focused on "renewal", pointing out that sitting MPs Michael Polley and David Llewellyn had both been in the parliament for over twenty years. Her advertising made use of Polly Waffle wrappers, "Pollywaffle" being a disparaging nickname for Polley. At the election, White narrowly defeated Llewellyn for the second Labor seat (also defeating the third sitting MP, Heather Butler).[1]
