GetUp boss Paul Oosting told AAP he hoped to be able to endorse the policy platforms of Liberal and Nationals candidates in future elections.
But the Coalition parties were currently too"beholden to the hard right" and failed to properly address clean energy and reducing emissions. Liberal frontbencher Peter Dutton, whose seat of Dickson is being targeted, said GetUp lacked credibility. "I've seen some polling on GetUp in my seat and their net favourability is through the floor, so I think people at this election have worked out what GetUp is about," he told Sky News.GetUp will have at least 1800 members handing out almost 800,000 guides at 335 voting booths on May 18 in the group's"most ambitious campaign ever", according to Mr Oosting.
The group named independents Anthony Pesec , Julia Banks , Susan Moylan-Coombs , Zali Steggall , Oliver Yates , Huw Kingston , Andrew Wilkie , Rob Oakeshott and Kerryn Phelps as candidates committed to strong climate and health policies.
Rubbish. GetUp are Marxists who want Australia to become a socialist country.

Di Natale slams climate change costings as 'garbage' | Sky News AustraliaGreens leader Richard Di Natale has slammed climate change cost modelling by economist Brian Fisher as ‘garbage’. \n\nMr Fisher has estimated Labor’s plan to reduce carbon emissions by 45 per cent by 2030, would wipe $542 billion from the Australian economy. \n\nMr Di Natale has told Sky News the modelling should be disregarded because it doesn’t consider the cost of climate change ‘inaction’. \n\nThe Greens leader says he had no doubt ‘the cost of inaction will dwarf the cost of action’. \n\n\n\n\n So he didnt actually dispute the cost... And he would know about garbage. The Greens have been peddling it for decades. auspol ausvotes greensbelonginsaladnotsenates So Richard produced his own modelling? Didn't think so.
