In case you missed it, high-profile advocacy group GetUp has earmarked the contested seat of Goldstein as its top election priority in Victoria – announcing a climate change campaign aimed at toppling Liberal incumbent Tim Wilson.
The campaign has received a lukewarm reception from independent candidate Zoe Daniel, who is already under fire from Wilson and the Coalition over outsider activist support for her candidacy.

GetUp national director Paul Oosting said Goldstein was the group’s main interest in Victoria as part of a $2.5 million national election campaign, followed by Kooyong, held by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.
Other seats targeted include those hit by climate-affected disasters or where climate is a key issue, including Macquarie, Eden-Monaro, Gilmore, and Page in regional NSW, Mackellar in Sydney and Ryan in Brisbane.
