GISELE KAPTERIAN INTERVIEW

HER MOTIVATIONS & HER VISION FOR BRADFIELD AND AUSTRALIA

COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE - Episode 145

Steven Tripp is joined by Richard Storch and the 2025 Liberal candidate for Bradfield, Gisele Kapterian.

Gisele is a former International Trade Lawyer, having studied at Cambridge University, and a former Chief of Staff and Political Adviser to Federal Cabinet ministers.

Gisele stepped directly into the national political spotlight as the Liberal Party’s preselected candidate for the federal Sydney seat of Bradfield in the 2025 election, emerging from a highly publicised, ultra-close race as a key figure representing the modern, moderate future of the Liberal Party.

On this episode, Gisele discusses her upbringing and her motivations behind becoming politically involved and her vision for the electorate of Bradfield and Australia broadly. Widely recognised as a powerful, progressive voice for sensible policy, Gisele discusses the economy, energy policy and immigration and what the Liberal Party must do to reemerge as a major political force.
