Kate Worden is a Member of the Legislative Assembly for the northern suburbs electorate of Sanderson.
At the recent Northern Territory election, Kate managed to increase her primary vote and has turned what was a bell-weather seat into the second safest seat for Labor.
This success and her experience has seen her promoted to cabinet. She is now Minister for Territory Families and Urban Housing; Minister for Disabilities; Minister for Sport; Minister for Multicultural Affairs.
But Kate’s life has been far from easy. On this episode, Kate shares her story from growing up in the UK, migrating to Adelaide in her teens, meeting her indigenous husband and having two children at 19, living in an Aboriginal community and becoming a single parent struggling to make ends meet.
Kate Worden’s story is a testament to sheer hard work and tenacity, and the opportunities that the Territory offers.
This is Kate’s Territory Story.
