Tassie premier Giddings celebrates 40th

TASMANIAN Premier Lara Giddings will celebrate her 40th birthday on Wednesday with a quiet dinner at the state's Parliament House with her family.

The youngest woman to be elected to an Australian parliament, Ms Giddings reaches the milestone after two years as a 30-something in the state's top job.

"I think I saw it more as a significant birthday when I was 39 and I saw it as the slippery slope to turning 40," Ms Giddings said in a statement to AAP.

"I have gotten so used to the idea of turning 40 that it is just another day. I have loved my 30s and I think my 40s will be great too.

Ms Giddings lost her seat in 1998 before being re-elected in 2002. She became a front-bencher in 2004 and deputy premier, under David Bartlett, in 2008.

As a 38-year-old, she became the state's 44th premier, and the first woman in the job, in January 2011, inheriting the Labor-Green power-sharing government.

Born Larissa Tahireh Giddings in Goroka, Papua New Guinea, in November 1972, the premier moved back to Tasmania, her family's home, in 1990 after completing school in Melbourne.

She studied arts and law at the University of Tasmania.
