Fun fact: Climate 200 doesn’t go around setting up local independent / voices groups.
The movement runs on volunteers – who only seem to coalesce into organised groups in certain under-represented seats.
Funding can’t go to groups that don’t exist.
And not all groups run candidates.

This framing is off.
The Guardian should be asking is why so many communities in Liberal-held seats have had enough of being ignored, forcing them to self-organise, build campaigns, and demand actual representation.
Climate 200’s support is a symptom, not the cause.

- Never let facts get in the way of political attacks & talking points.
Here’s a list of (most of?) the many groups that exist nationwide:

Perhaps we are hard wired to seek “the hero’s journey”
The tone of the headline doesn't reflect the tone of the article, which is fact based.
(Not defending Karp. Just saying.
Guardian has had problems before where their headlines were not reflective of the actual content of the articles they headed.)
I haven’t seen AFR be anywhere near as hostile or committed to counterfactual sledging as some “allegedly news” outlets.
