Margaret Ann Putt (born 5 June 1953) is a former Australian politician and parliamentary leader of the Tasmanian Greens.

Putt was born in Sydney and attended school at Hornsby High School.

At the age of 16, she won a scholarship to the Australian International Independent School in Epping.

At this time, Putt was also part of organising High School Students against Vietnam.

She then travelled to the United Kingdom where she studied a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in international relations, at the University of Sussex, graduating with Honours.

1970

In the late 1970s Putt moved up to Nimbin, and camped at a commune.

She later moved to the Northern Territory to work with Aboriginal communities on Elcho Island in Arnhem land.

She then moved to live on Dangar Island in the Hawkesbury, NSW.

After completing her degree, Putt travelled back to Australia through Asia, and in 1975 got a job developing pollution control programs at Botany, at a time when the NSW Environment Protection Agency had just been set up.

1986

She moved to Tasmania in 1986 with her partner and two daughters, where she became spokesperson for the Huon Protection Group which succeeded in stopping development of a new woodchip mill on the Huon River.

She also founded the Tasmanian Threatened Species Network and was director of the Tasmanian Conservation Trust.

In 1992, Bob Brown asked Peg to be a support candidate for the Green Independents at the impending state election after the first Labor-Green accord collapsed.

1993

Putt entered the Tasmanian House of Assembly in 1993 after Bob Brown resigned and votes in the Hobart electorate of Denison were recounted.

2002

Four years later in the 2002 election she recorded the second highest vote of 12,036 (20.0%) after Tasmanian premier Jim Bacon and became one of four Greens elected.

Putt became the Greens parliamentary leader.

2008

On 7 July 2008, Putt announced her retirement as leader of the Tasmanian Greens, and as a Member of the House of Assembly.

She was replaced as Greens leader by the party's deputy leader, Nick McKim.
