Katina Hodson-Thomas (born 28 April 1957) is an Australian politician who was a Liberal member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly representing the electorate of Carine after winning the seat in the 1996 election.[1] She was subsequently re-elected to the seat in 2001 and 2005 but retired just before the 2008 election.
In January 2008,Hodson-Thomas announced that she would retire from politics at the end of her term. She left the party as a result of a bitter leadership feud between Paul Omodei and then-leader Troy Buswell,and after Buswell had made inappropriate sexist comments to her in front of a large number of male colleagues,for which Buswell later apologised. She went on to remark that the state parliament was a boys' club and the male members need to lift their standards.[3][4]
