GREENS Senators Peter Whish-Wilson and Cate Faehrmann are in Newcastle tonight to promote the NSW election campaigns of Newcastle candidate John Mackenzie and Wallsend candidate Rebecca Watkins.
Senator Whish-Wilson, who earlier this month introduced a private member's bill opposing the PEP-11 offshore gas project, is his party's spokesperson on "agriculture, healthy oceans and waste" and was last in Newcastle in October for a parliamentary committee hearing on biosecurity, the varroa mite and foot-and-mouth disease.
