Helen is the independent MP for the Victorian seat of Indi. She started working life as a registered nurse before making a career as a midwife. She’s got a background in epidemiology, public health and holds a doctoral degree in medical science.
Helen’s story is really something else. The seat of Indi is a rural, traditionally conservative electorate, and she was elected on a platform of strong action on climate change and revitalization of democracy.
Well, you know me – that’s all I like to talk about so when her people reached out to me to chat I was all over it. There’s a few gurlges and such as Wolfie was in on this one – because even though he’s ten months old, he’s got a thing for community power stations and micro-grids, and has a bit to say about participatory democracy.
