Political career

Moser began her political career, motivated by the fight against air pollution in her hometown, in the Linz municipal council . There she represented the Linz Greens between 1985 and 1991 and was also the parliamentary group leader. As a co-founder of the Greens in Austria, she was a member of the Upper Austrian provincial party executive from 1991 and also a member of the federal executive from 1996 to 1997. After the National Council election in Austria in 1994 , she became a member of the National Council for the first time and was the health spokesperson for her parliamentary group , resigned after the 1995 election and took on a new mandate from 1997, which she held until 2017.

As a member of parliament, she was repeatedly involved in the uncovering of grievances in public administration and state-related companies, including the construction scandal surrounding the Skylink project for the expansion of Vienna-Schwechat airport and speculative transactions by ÖBB . In the course of the BUWOG affair , through a parliamentary request , she brought the telephone logs of talks and agreements between the former Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser , the lobbyist and ex- FPÖ politician Walter Meischberger and real estate agent Ernst Karl Plech to the public. The revelations surrounding the privatization of BUWOG during Grasser's time as finance minister ( Federal Government Schüssel I and II ) led to the establishment of a parliamentary committee of inquiry ( committee of inquiry to clarify allegations of corruption ), which Moser headed as chairwoman from November 18. When it became apparent from mid-2012 that the governing parties at the time, the SPÖ and ÖVP ( Federal Government Faymann I ) and the BZÖ, contrary to Moser's view, did not want to continue dealing with certain topics in the investigative committee and that work was blocked, she chaired it on September 18, 2012 back. At the request of the SPÖ and ÖVP, the committee of inquiry was terminated shortly afterwards, on October 16, 2012.

Grasser sued after Moser had accused him as part of the parliamentary committee of inquiry that he would favor certain companies in tax audits, and later repeated this statement on an ORF broadcast. On July 9, 2013, the final judgment was issued, according to which she had to publicly revoke these allegations and the designation of Grassers as the “patron saint of tax evaders” and to bear the legal costs.

After the parliamentary elections in Austria in 2017 in which the Greens won no National Council mandate, she was the building of the Party Academy of before the election on the initiative of former longtime party colleagues in the Green Peter Pilz founded List Peter Pilz involved.
