Lestrange took an early interest in politics, and volunteered in Liberal-candidate Robert Boswell's successful 1980 Caporolla gubernatorial campaign. He graduated from Radnor Stokes University with a double-degree in economics and political science in 1981, publishing a postgraduate thesis on Maximusian monetary policy a year later.
