Life

Haidlmayr was born in Steyr in 1955. She rose to prominence as the spokesperson of the Green Party in Austria from 1994 to 2008, serving in the National Council. At the next election in 2008 she decided not to be a candidate because she was disheartened by the low profile that her party had given to issues for disabled people. Haidlmayr had Osteogenesis imperfecta and used a wheelchair.[2] It was announced that the decision to not seek election was Haidlmayr's.[3]

Haidlmayr was awarded the Grand Decoration of Honour in Silver for Services to the Republic of Austria in 2004.[4]
