Following a federal teal wave, a new independent candidate has revealed why she ditched Labor and is contesting Victoria's marginal seat of Caulfield at the November election.
Lawyer and journalist Nomi Kaltmann, 30, announced on Tuesday that she would contest the marginal Liberal seat of Caulfield - which is held by a slim 0.1 per cent.
Nomi Kaltmann has been announced as a teal candidate, running for the seat of Caulfield. Picture: Twitter “It was obviously a big decision. But I decided that I would resign from the Labor party, which I’d been dissatisfied with for a number of years,” she said. Mr Kaltmann is a lifelong resident of Caulfield and active member in the community, where she established the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance of Australia last year.
She pointed to teal success at the May Federal Election as proof that a swing from major political parties did not hinder her prospects of being elected in the minds of voters.
