Andrew Constance's candidate page says that he is "determined to never see a repeat of the Black Summer firestorms" and wants "strong action on climate change". These words don't have much meaning if you're campaigning for Dutton's LNP and promising to tear up Australia's Paris Agreement goals.

This is always my favourite time of year, when ecologists lobby for their favourite eucalypt to win and tell us why. Having just come back from the @foe.org.au Snow Gum Summit, I am sure it won't surprise you which I voted for. Hopefully if they win, someone can write better poetry about them.
