Liberal candidate for the progressive-leaning Prahran by-election, Rachel Westaway, says her family escaped communism by migrating to Australia, and this is why she wants to make a difference as a politician.

Westaway has heavily campaigned on reducing the cost of living, lowering taxes, fees and charges, and improving community safety.
