Thi Viet Huong Truong is an Australian politician. She was a Greens member of the Victorian Legislative Council, having represented Western Metropolitan Region from February 2018, when she was appointed to the vacancy resulting from Colleen Hartland's resignation,[2][3] until her defeat at the 2018 Victorian state election.

Her parents came from Vietnam as refugees by boat following the Vietnam War.[4] She graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Arts in 2005, and from RMIT with a Master of Social Science in Environment and Planning in 2009. She had previously worked as the Sustainability Coordinator at Brimbank City Council from 2008 to 2018. She served on the Victorian Parliamentary Environment and Planning Committee.[3]

Around 2021 Truong worked as a union organiser with the National Union of Workers.[5] In July 2024 Truong was preselected by the Greens to contest the then Labor-held Division of Fraser in Melbourne’s west.[6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
