Kate Hulett (Independent)
I am a long-standing champion for decisive and urgent climate action, the comprehensive protection of our environment, and the strengthening of our unique and precious biodiversity.
My vision for Fremantle is that its built and natural environments reflect the values of its people; that it leads the way in finding and implementing solutions for the climate crisis that enhance everyday lives, diversify our economy and create opportunities.
Like many residents of Fremantle, I am frustrated at the lack of serious action on climate and environment and at the government’s failure to secure the long-term wellbeing of our home and community.
Policy priorities:
- A full state-wide ban of fracking;
- Legislated targets for reducing our state’s emissions and for increasing renewable energy investment;
- No new, expanded or extended fossil fuel projects, including winding down fossil fuel projects on Murujuga (the Burrup Peninsula);
- The permanent protection of Scott Reef;
- Evidence-backed changes to prescribed burning in the South West, and;
- A strengthened, well funded and genuinely independent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
More climate policies will be announced shortly.

For years, I was involved in small-scale sustainability and community advocacy work. I saw the positive effects that local action could have, but it soon became clear to me that working within a broken system can only get you so far – if you want to make a substantial difference, you have to change the system.
There’s something special about Freo – if you live here, you know what I mean. But successive State governments have taken us for granted. They’ve pushed through projects and changes without stopping to ask us: is this right for Fremantle?
We’ve seen promises of public housing, only to have the development sites left empty for years on end, exacerbating the housing crisis. We’ve seen a new police precinct sprung on us, with no thought given to maintaining our City’s culture. And we’ve had to fight tooth and nail to have our voices heard when the Government tried to force their woefully inadequate Traffic Bridge redevelopment plan on us. Time and time again, Fremantle has been taken for granted.
We deserve a representative who will stand up to the State Government and tell them that our community will have its voice heard. We need someone who will do more than just rubber-stamp whatever the Government wants to do – someone who will force the Government to come to the table, early, and with open minds, and work with the community, not against us.
This election, a vote for The Greens is a vote for a voice for the Freo community. It is a vote for real action on the housing crisis. It is a vote for sustainable and thoughtful urban and community development. It is a vote for a future that Freo deserves.
A better future for Fremantle is possible – but if we want change, we have to make it happen together. Join me, and our Greens movement. Sign up to volunteer and join our team!
