A profile of Lucy Gichuhi, the Kenya-born woman who is set to become a senator for the small Family First party in Australia, says she is a strong opponent of welfare spending which local ABC reports would be handy support for the ruling Labour party’s plan to make budget savings.

She is expected to become a senator representing South Australia after a court invalided party leader Bob Day’s election.

Questions have been raised over whether Mrs Gichuhi held dual citizenship at the time of the election – something that would bar her from being in parliament

Kenya’s High Commissioner to Australia has however said she automatically lost her citizenship when she became an Australian citizen, ABC reports.

Ms Gichuhi says that she is eligible to assume the seat and has what it takes to serve in the Senate:

I was tough enough to land in Australia 19 years ago knowing no one. Only with [my husband] William and three toddlers.”
