Dr Elizabeth Constable was born December 2 1943 in Sydney in New South Wales. She has been an Independent member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly firstly representing the electorate of Floreat after winning the seat at a 1991 by-election following the resignation of Andrew Mensaros. After the abolition of Floreat in a redistribution in 1994, Constable was elected to the electorate of Churchlands in 1996 then successfully re-elected in 2001 and 2005.

Constable was once a member of the Liberal Party before becoming an independent.

Constable contested the seat as a conservative independent and won easily with 49% of the primary vote.
