And I thought it was a really great way to start your experience.

Cause you flew into Perth.

I said, well, let's go down to Fremantle and, um, why don't we

hang out with someone who I think really understands the spirit of Fremantle in so many different ways.

And that's why today we're going to meet Kate Hewlett, who is an extraordinary person.

I think part of this story, she's a person who sort of fell into running for parliament, not once, but twice.

Once for the state government, once federally, and narrowly missed out twice in a very safe Labor seat, which is running as an independent.

This is about how she loves her community.

and how she's passionate about the environment.

She's passionate about social justice.

She's super, super passionate about civic spaces.

And, you know, we need people who get shitty when trees are cut down by councils for no reason.

And not in a Karen kind of way, but she just points it out saying, why do we have to do this?

Why does it have to be so?

Why can't we put...

More trees there.

Why can't we have more green space?

Why can't we create better public spaces for all people?

And because she's so passionate, it's inspiring.

And she's like the Pied Piper.
