Mr Vincent Catania MLA
Member for North West
About Vince

He was re-elected to the 38th Parliament as the Member for the North West (Legislative Assembly). He contested both elections as a member of the Australian Labor Party before relinquishing his membership in September 2009 to join The Nationals WA on the strength of the Party's Royalties for Regions policy and its position as an independent political party representing the best interests of regional people.
Vince has served on a number of Parliamentary committees such as Public Administration and Delegated Legislation Committee and is currently serving as Acting Speaker.
Vince is committed to the communities of the North West and is a member on a number of community boards such as Denham Boating Facilities committee, Carnarvon Liquor Accord committee, and Chair of the Exmouth Harbour Expansion community reference group.
