Hi, I'm Kate.
I’m a paediatric emergency doctor, previous Greens councillor, mum to two young boys, and a climate activist. I live on beautiful Wadawurrung land on the Surf Coast.
As a councillor I helped the Surf Coast community fight to protect the environment and improve social justice, including opposing oil and gas exploration off our coastline, working to protect our wetlands and waterways and pushing for more affordable housing.
I’m committed to fighting for outcomes for everyday people, and I have a deep understanding of what our community needs. I will fight for Wannon's values every day, and have a team of Greens behind me doing the same.
I’m proud to be part of a party that is fighting for no new coal and gas and publicly owned renewable energy, cheaper groceries and a rent freeze.
We want to make big corporations pay their fair share of tax and fund things we all need, like dental and mental health into Medicare and make sure you can see the GP for free.
In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics and governments should actually solve the problems we face – the housing, cost of living and climate crises.
If you want change, you have to vote for it. Vote 1 Greens.
