Kate Chaney isn't perfect by any means but gotta be the best Curtin has seen. So refreshing to hear a politician campaign about integrity and transparency.

I haven't really heard much feom her since last election. Seems to be one of the quieter teals.
Have you heard anything much about her time as a rep? Anything good/bad she's been involved in?
Supports renewables, and has been campaigning for the major parties to show all their donations. Been talking about the housing crisis a lot while listening to community perspectives. Only major issue has been she back flipped on the live export ban (originally supported a ban, then went against at the 11th hour) which kinda upset both sides (and the vast majority of Curtin supports the ban).
But aside from that she's done a really good job at coming across as a human being first and a politician second, you always see her out and about.
Kate Chaney's Statement of Reasons
Thought i'd look up her reasoning for the change.
A bit vague,
The effects,
...on their livelihoods, their mental health, their families, and their communities
The reasoning after those stated community effects seems to be, well its phasing out anyway, so let it run it's course.
I'm surprised at the letter, as well, because a better way to communicate this would be to pass on the specific examples of perceived harms that have been relayed to her to change her mind.
