A growing number of Liberal and National party MPs face credible challenges from independents highlighting climate action at the federal election, due to be held in May. In six Liberal-held seats – Wentworth, North Sydney, Kooyong, Goldstein and Curtin – they appear to be the main opposition, and in others they hope to at least attract a significant primary vote and potentially influence the outcome through preferences.
This interactive list provides a guide to all of the candidates we have identified so far who are supported by, or sympathetic to, a “voices of” group in their electorate.
The criteria for inclusion are that they are either endorsed by the group, or, where “Voices of” groups are not endorsing candidates, the candidate has backed the priorities identified by the group.
