Bringing people back into politics with Kate Chaney, Curtin Independent

Kate Chaney, Curtin Independent, talks climate action, integrity, and how responsible economic and socially progressive community responses will help us address the complex issues of our times. She reminds us that we are the system, we are politics and we all have a responsibility to get involved.

Kate is an accomplished professional.  She’s worked in corporate, consultancy, and the not-for-profit sectors; in areas including strategy, social impact, sustainability and indigenous affairs.   

We recorded this interview on the cusp of the 2022 Australian Federal Election being called, and two months into Kate’s campaign of mobilising her community for a wave of change.  

 “It’s been the community that’s been missing from our political system and that’s what’s so exciting to see coming back.” – Kate Chaney.

My Warm Table, translated into Italian is Tavola Calda. These were the words my Papa used to describe a table of good friends, good food and good conversation. I always aim to create a tavola calda in my life and I hope this podcast encourages you to do so too!
