Katherine Copsey is an Australian politician and lawyer who is a member of theVictorian Legislative Council for theGreens, representing theSouthern Metropolitan Region. She was elected at the2022 Victorian state election.[1][2]
Copsey is by profession a planning and environment lawyer and community organiser.[3] Prior to being elected to parliament, she was a member ofPort Phillip City Council representing Lake Ward.[4] She advocates for increased policies to mitigateclimate change, reforms to support the interests of renters, and the construction of affordable housing.[3] Copsey serves as the Victorian Greens' Spokeswoman for Justice, Transportation and Animal Welfare.[5]
Copsey is an active opponent of expanding the amount of time in which theAustralian Grand Prix gets exclusive access toAlbert Park and Lake, arguing that doing so would harm residents by giving too much priority to the interests of theFIA.[6] Copsey is an advocate forprice controls on supermarket groceries, noted by theHerald Sun as clashing with Victorian TreasurerJaclyn Symes over the issue. This was considered surprising by the newspaper, as price controls on supermarket goods would have reduced the value of shares Copsey holds in theWoolworths Group.[7]
