Your voice for liberty
I'm Kate Fantinel, your Western Australian Senate Candidate for the Liberal Democrats.
I'm Kate Fantinel, your Western Australian Senate Candidate for the Liberal Democrats.
The Liberal Democrats have advocated for individual freedom, personal responsibility, private property rights, and voluntary association since our founding in 2001.
We are Australia’s true classical liberal (or libertarian) party and offer a real and sensible alternative for those wandering the political wasteland the two major parties have created.

I'm a small-town country girl from South Australia.
I moved to Adelaide at 18 to pursue a Bachelor of Journalism before returning to my hometown to work as a reporter.
Quickly realising that the media wasn’t the Fourth Estate anymore, I returned to University to study Public Relations.
While studying part-time, I worked for the South Australian Chamber of Mines & Energy in communications and policy.
I then accepted a challenging role in media and advocacy with the Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia (SSAA). I met former Senator David Leyonhjelm while working in Canberra and discovered libertarianism by listening to his speeches in Parliament.
While I love the lifestyle Western Australia has to offer, its politics has been extremely polarising and divisive. The federal government has been missing in action, while McGowan’s cruel hard border; his unjust rules on those who value medical privacy; and his mandates have destroyed the lives of many Western Australians.
I relocated from Adelaide to Sydney in 2017 to serve as former Senator Leyonhjelms' advisor.
I traveled to Canberra for the parliamentary sitting weeks and saw firsthand the inner machinations of federal politics.
I briefly served former Senator Duncan Spender, who co-founded the party, and campaigned in the 2019 NSW State Election.
Following the election loss, I accepted an offer to work for the former Hon. Aaron Stonehouse MLC in his Perth office.
I served on the WA State Executive and ran as the North Metropolitan Candidate at the 2021 State Election.
I work full-time for the Party on the National Campaigns Team while being Leader of the LibDems in WA and the Lead Senate Candidate.
