Sibson was born in Perth, but raised on his parents' farm in Cowaramup, a country town in the South West. After leaving school he worked variously as a milk vendor, a transport contractor, a school-bus driver, and a car salesman.[1] A long-time member of the Liberal Party, Sibson entered parliament at the 1973 Bunbury by-election, which had been caused by the resignation of the sitting Liberal member, Maurice Williams. He held the seat until being defeated by Labor's Phil Smith at the 1983 state election.[2] After being defeated, Sibson was elected to the City of Bunbury council, serving a three-year term.[1] He attempted to re-enter parliament at the 1986 state election, but was unsuccessful, suffering a further swing against him.[2]
