Everything about the way Tara Burnett looks screams sensible. She’s wearing pearl earrings, her hair is loosely up, her pants are beige. She talks softly, calmly – focused on the policies.
If you had to conjure up an image of a renting, queer trade unionist from Melbourne’s inner north, who runs Dungeons and Dragons nights in her spare time and with an ambition to be the first trans MP in federal parliament, Burnett is probably not where you’d land.
