Exclusive: fundraising group defends telephone polling after complaint by NSW Liberal party director.

A Climate 200 spokesperson said it was a “widely used and accepted polling technique” and confirmed Conway’s camp was not involved. “Authentic, high-profile endorsements of independent candidates helps boost their chances of success,” the Climate 200 spokesperson said. “This behaviour makes a complete mockery of Climate 200 teal independents’ claims that they stand for integrity and positive politics,” she said.

The budget was deep in deficit following the upheavals of COVID-19. “Growing up in the Hornsby area, it’s an area that’s always voted Liberal, but it’s also the bushland shire,” he says. Kean, 41, was educated at St Ignatius’ College Riverview and the University of Technology, Sydney where he studied business. Morrison rejected the claims as a “beat-up” adding that most federal ministers “wouldn’t even know who Matt Kean was”. So, there is still that great sense of community, people still know their neighbours, people care about national parks and the natural environment. “I think it’s people who are concerned about the economy, but also care about the environment and social justice issues.
