DANI VS FLANNY
“Tim Flannery’s endorsement of Malcolm Turnbull is deeply worrisome,” writes greenoid Dani Ecuyer:
Mr Flannery has had a huge impact on the work I do and I am totally dismayed that he has publically announced his endorsement for a candidate in a marginal seat. What is even more bizarre is the fact that his photo also appears with Patrice Newell on the Climate Change Coalition website. So does that mean he is endorsing two parties or two candidates in the same seat this election?
Flannery calls for a carbon-free economy while flying all over the place promoting himself. For him, this two-things-at-once caper is standard practice. Ecuyer, seeking election in Turnbull’s seat of Wentworth, signs off:
We do not need high profile scientists applauding incumbent politicians in marginal seats.
Rather specific, isn’t she?
