Rebecca "Bec" Cody is an Australian politician. She has been a Labor member of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly since 2016, representing the electorate of Murrumbidgee. She was a hairdresser before entering politics, and owned a salon; she also worked as a unionist.[1]
In February 2017 Bec Cody criticised an RSL club for having pictures of Aboriginals in the men's bathroom, calling on the RSL to address "this filth as a matter of urgency".[2]
In 2019 she was accused of wilfully misinterpreting a Greens proposal to increase vegetarian and vegan options in schools and hospitals after claiming that it "would kill me" due to her allergy to fruits and vegetables.[3]
