A lifelong resident of Caulfield and active member of the local Jewish community, Kaltmann established the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance of Australia last year, which works to expand the opportunities for Orthodox women in all areas of life, including in politics.She is also the Australian correspondent at Tablet Magazine, the largest Jewish newspaper in the United States.
“Party politics wastes a lot of time. It’s often highly ineffective and bogged down, on lots of details and political factions. I think the best choice was to become an independent,” she said. “We had a few candidates come forward, seeking to become the independent candidate, but Nomi was the clear winner.”Caulfield was first created in 1927. In that time it has never been won by Labor. It has since been held by conservative candidates, with the exception of one election when the seat was won by an independent socialist in 1943.
