Yasmin Catley


Yasmin Maree Catley is an Australian politician who was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the member for Swansea for the Labor Party at the 2015 New South Wales state election. The surname Catley can be traced to Wales in the UK where Swansea is one of the most significant cities.
Formerly a librarian with the Lake Macquarie City Council, she has worked in the offices of Federal Labor MPs Greg Combet and Anthony Albanese. She is married to Robert Coombs who himself served as the member for Swansea from 2007 to 2011.
Yasmin was appointed to the Shadow Ministry by NSW Labor Leader Luke Foley as the Shadow Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation in March 2015.
Since June 2019, Catley has been Deputy Leader of the ALP and hence Deputy Leader of the Opposition.
