Teal independents will demand greater action on climate change and a strong corruption watchdog in a parliament that could see the crossbench grow to as many as 11
Teal independents in the House of Representatives will demand greater action on climate change and a strong corruption watchdog as their first order of priority in a parliament that could see the crossbench grow to as many as 11.
“When the Liberal Party carries out the post-election analysis, they must address the issue of women in the party,” she told Channel Nine. “Is it time to start preselecting more women? Absolutely, that is a very clear message that the electorate is sending us, but we can’t just say that preselecting more women is sufficient,” Birmingham said.On Saturday night, five the teal candidates were on track to win seats off Liberal MPs - Sophie Scamps in Mackellar, Allegra Spender in Wentworth, Kylea Tink in North Sydney, Zoe Daniel in Goldstein and Monique Ryan in Kooyong, who was likely to unseat Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.
Monique Ryan last month made clear that Prime Minister Scott Morrison would have to deepen cuts to carbon emissions from his target of 28 per cent by 2030 to her target of 60 per cent by the same year, but said this would also apply to Albanese.“At this point, neither of the major parties has come to the party, to the table, in the same way that the people of Kooyong want them to,” she said.
All of the independents were backed by Simon Holmes a Court, the founder of the fund-raising vehicle Climate 200.
