A Labor MP has opened up about her personal experience of domestic violence in a speech to Parliament that left her colleagues in tears.

In a statement marking White Ribbon week, Emma Husar, the Member for Lindsay, said 29 of her 36 years had been affected by domestic violence.

"The first 13 years of my life were marred with physical domestic violence, committed towards my mother, at the hands of my always drunk-when-abusive father," Ms Husar, who was elected at the July election, said.
