The NSW Greens have launched their campaign for the state election in March, announcing candidates for the seats of Charlestown and Lake Macquarie at the weekend as volunteers began canvassing the suburbs.
The party selected UK expat Greg Watkinson to run for his home seat of Charlestown, while former teacher and one-time Shortland federal candidate Kim Grierson will contest Lake Macquarie. Both candidates are running on a climate platform, among other issues, saying Saturday that urgent action was needed to address the climate crisis.
