Early Life
Seth Woods was born in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia on March 20, 1972, though he holds dual-citizenship in both Australia and Doggerland. His father was an immigrant from Mistlân, Zuidvis, while his mother was from Adelaide, South Australia. When he was a child, his family moved to Perth, Western Australia where he attended high school and Murdoch University. He graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Zoology.

Political Career
Seth Woods served as the first leader of the Progressive Libertarian Party, however, after it was announced that the Free & Equal Party was being formed, Woods would leave the Progressive Libertarians to join Free & Equal, encouraging his fellow left-libertarians to coalesce under the leadership of William Bos. Shortly after joining Free & Equal, William Bos would name Woods Chief of Climate Oversight, a position he would use to advocate for climate-related bills like the Climate Emergency Act, Recycling Act, and Green Exchange Program.

Because Woods entered the national stage for the first time halfway through a legislative term, he was the only one out of the five founding members of the Free & Equal Party to not already have a seat in the National Assembly, and therefore, the only one to not serve under the F&E banner. On June 18, 2021, however, Woods would be approached by Prime Minister Theodor Mann and Minister Avery Wagers who offered him a seat in the National Assembly for the Labor Workers' Party. Woods would accept this offer with the stipulation that he would continue to serve as the F&E's Cheif of Climate Oversight and run on their party list next term. Woods would become a Member of the National Assembly later that day.
