Georgia Steele has over 15
years’ experience as a lawyer, both in BigLaw firms and in-house at
a major bank. The skills she picked up along the way (particularly
as a litigator) will serve her well, she says, if elected in Hughes
in place of incumbent MP Craig Kelly.
On this episode of The
Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with independent
for Hughes candidate Georgia Steele – who previously was a senior
lawyer and manager for regulatory affairs at ANZ, prior to which
she worked at Allens and Freshfields – about her career in law,
what she learned in her decade and a half as a litigator, and how
she came to be the Independent candidate in the Hughes electorate
in Sydney’s southern and south-western suburbs.
Ms Steele also explains
the issues that are most important to her as a candidate – namely
her “exasperation” with the state of federal political discourse,
concern about environmental inaction and the need for a federal
ICAC – and reflects on the issues that are important to legal
professionals, and argues for the need to “really refresh
Australian democracy”.
