Exclusive: Labor calls for Coalition to ‘guarantee’ candidates support climate action after Megan Anderson’s remark

after reading a paper. She is running in one of just two seats being contested by both a Liberal and National candidate.

Nationals candidates are required to submit an extensive form when they apply to run for the party, including details about their support for the party’s policies, but the party embraces a “broad church”, a senior official explained.Anderson made her comment on 7 March while sitting around a table of local residents in Doyalson asking questions about the offshore wind zone in the Pacific Ocean off the Hunter.

Consultation for the proposed renewables project that the federal government claims could support the decarbonisation of the area - and create up to 8000 jobs - opened earlier this year, and has included a number of community discussions.and was preselected for the near-unwinnable seat at the end of February. Labor’s Yasmin Catley held the Hunter region electorate on a 10% margin at the 2019 election.

Opposition spokesperson, Penny Sharpe, said the coalition needed to make sure all candidates were on the same page about climate change.
