Biography

I’m Tom White, your local Liberal for Curtin.

Curtin is home. I went to a local school, studied at UWA and even established Uber’s first WA office right here in Subiaco.

I’ve never shied away from a challenge. I tackle them head-on with a focus on delivering real results. My roots are deep in Curtin, where daily life is underpinned by our strong sense of community, the freedoms we cherish, the stunning surroundings we enjoy, and our optimistic attitude.

I’m ready to take this spirit to the Federal Parliament, confident in my ability to provide solutions to the pressing challenges we face, particularly those that hit closest to home in our community.

As your Liberal candidate, I’m fighting for real action to curb out-of-control cost of living pressures and inflation, prioritising responsible government spending over wasteful indulgence.

I’m passionate about boosting our economy by cutting red tape, fostering entrepreneurial spirit, and tackling restrictive laws that hinder productivity.
I’m also advocating for a rational energy policy that balances affordability, reliability, and our environmental commitments, avoiding unnecessary costs and looming blackouts.

And I’m pushing to make housing more affordable, particularly for young Australians; this means directly confronting the challenges posed by immigration, urban planning and inflation to guarantee a fair chance for the next generational to own a home in our community.

I’ve led big projects in the tech world, like bringing Uber to new markets, and I’ve learned a lot about solving tough problems, leading teams and running businesses. With my experience and education in economics and tech, I’m ready to use what I know to help make good decisions and make Curtin matter again in the Federal Parliament.

Let’s work together to build a stronger, prouder, and more optimistic community.
