Karen Beale (52) has just been nominated as the Labor Candidate to represent Kalamunda and surrounding Perth Hills areas in the 2025 State Elections.
A fourth generation Perth Hills girl, Karen grew up clearly understanding that expectations of her were to get married, have children and look after her family.
So that's how Karen's life began: she married at 20, then again and 25 and again at 44 - all whilst raising three children.
Karen found herself a single mother with a toddler and six month old, with not even enough money to buy nappies. She's helped her parents through the devastation of losing everything to bushfire - but through all this she appears only to have grown stronger.
I can confidently say that Karen's drive for social justice has seen her taking on roles in the community that have well exceeded those early expectations of her.
This is Karen's story.
