Oh look. Another lawyer, career politician.
Look, I hope she serves well, but as soon as I see Lawyer and politician in one sentence, it never seems to bode well.

Theres been an over-representation if you ask me.
Its a problem because people i speak to don't seem to get the hypocrisy of saying 'we need people of more diverse backgrounds in politics', while also demanding everybody elected have the 'requisite experience for such a role'.
And by 'requisite experience' they always mean they've worked at a large white collar corpo or they've been a public servant/services.
Its very annoying having to point at this complete blindspot. Its probably something ro do with pur 'Merit' based society and every other job requiring some connecting experience. But politics needs to be representative of real people more than it needs those 'qualified on paper'.
22 year old councillor? Gotta be the youngest in the country, couldn't be many more of her age out there.
