Carter’s friends and colleagues were devastated by the death of the MP, who they described as talented and empathetic.
Three-time Maribyrnong mayor and rising star of the Australian Labor Party Sarah Carter has been found dead at her home at the age of 45.
The first woman to be elected mayor of Maribyrnong three times, she received multiple awards for her contribution to the council since she was first elected in 2008. She was in her fourth consecutive term on the council.The councillor, who had recently started a new relationship, had spoken publicly about her struggles with IVF in recent years.“Sarah lived a life of values and of service and threw herself into everything she was involved in with total commitment,” he said.
“She gave so much of herself and wanted to give so much more. She’s been taken from us far too soon. It’s a terrible loss to our community and our country.”Minister for the NDIS and Melbourne MP Bill Shorten described Carter as a “remarkable, irreplaceable, dedicated, passionate advocate.“My thoughts are with her family and loved ones in this difficult time.”
