The candidates I speak up for want to do more than send prayers as another climate disaster hits – it is so important they get into power
This week I was shocked to discover myself on the front page of the Australian and other Murdoch-owned media where I was accused of being anti-Israel. This came as a huge surprise not just to me, but to my family, my neighbours and the many professional colleagues I have worked with as an editor and climate activist.
It was a shock because, while I’ve been targeted for years for my climate change work, I have never been the target of a politically motivated hit job designed to undermine the independent candidates I support.
