Kate is the Federal Member for Jagajaga and the voice in Canberra for our community. She lives locally with her family and is passionate about supporting people across Jagajaga.
Through the pandemic she has been advocating for people and businesses in our community to get the financial support they need, to be able to safely return home from overseas, and to get faster access to vaccines to keep us all safe.
Kate understands we are facing a climate emergency.
The urgent need to act on climate change is one of the biggest issues consistently raised by residents across Jagajaga.
Kate and Labor believe that we should be investing in a job-creating renewable energy future, urgently reducing emissions and protecting our local environment.
