Olympic gold medalist and former senator Nova Peris OAM has more accolades than you can poke a stick at. Not only is she a Gold Medal-winner in women's hockey, but she also made it to the finals in a different Olympics as a sprinter! Did we mention that in 1997 she was awarded Young Australian of the Year, and she has also received a medal for the Order of Australia, making her Nova Peris OAM? She also became the first Indigenous woman to be elected to the Commonwealth Parliament for the senate in the Northern Territory. Let's hope all her training on and off the field (and in the office) has prepared her for the game of Survivor.
