Penelope Kate Pratt (born 3 December 1975)[1] is an Australian politician. She has been a Liberal member of the South Australian House of Assembly since the 2022 state election, representing Frome.[2]
Pratt had previously contested two state elections. She stood for the seat of Ashford in 2010 and against the then Premier, Jay Weatherill in 2018 in the seat of Cheltenham.[3] Prior to the 2022 election, Frome had been held since 2009 by Independent politician Geoff Brock, who stood for the seat of Stuart, following redistribution.[4]
Pratt's father Michael was the federal member for Adelaide after winning the 1988 Adelaide by-election until he was defeated at the 1990 federal election.[5] Her cousin, Tom Michael, ran as the Liberal candidate for the seat of Narungga in the 2022 election.[6]
During her election campaign, Pratt emphasised her "local" credentials, having grown up on a farm near Blyth. She worked as a Liberal staffer for Steven Marshall before he became premier, then as chief of staff for Minister for Child Protection, Rachel Sanderson.[5] She took leave from that position in December 2021, having recently moved to the Clare Valley within the electorate.[7] She is a member of the Liberal party's moderate faction.[7]
