A lawyer and business leader, Kate secured a stunning victory after a rapid campaign in 2022. She brings significant private sector experience, including senior roles at Wesfarmers and Anglicare WA. Kate chose to run as an Independent to advocate for stronger climate action and political integrity.
In Parliament Kate has championed evidence-based policymaking and long-term thinking, particularly around economic reform, climate action and cleaning up politics. She’s been leading the charge on a bill to make elections more transparent and fair, intergenerational fairness, online gambling reform and decarbonising WA’s economy.
Climate 200 is proud to have supported Kate from 2022 -2025.
I voted for Kate because she gets it – we need a strong economy and a liveable climate, not one at the expense of the other. As a dad, I think a lot about the future we’re leaving our kids. Kate’s the only one doing something about it.
