After securing the federal seat of Curtin in a landmark election victory, Kate Chaney MP joins The Range Project to discuss her journey to the House of Representatives. As part of the climate-focused teal independent wave, Kate shares her diverse career experiences and her commitment to making change.

Kate reflects on entering politics and balancing her responsibility to her electorate and motherhood and we touch on the unhelpful dichotomy of left vs right, climate change, renewable energy, gambling and integrity in politics.
