GP dubbed a ‘teal candidate’ denies being an election fake
Dr Sophie Scamps has defended her run for Parliament, saying the Coalition is in chaos on climate change
A GP standing in the Federal Election has hit back at claims she and other so-called ‘teal candidates’ are fakes who are duping voters.
Dr Sophie Scamps, who gave up being a GP last year so she could run for parliament, is one of several independents campaigning against sitting Liberals MPs around the country.
They have been dubbed ‘teal candidates’ because of their stance on climate change action and focus on integrity in politics.
Dr Scamps is running against Jason Falinski, the Liberal member for the blue ribbon seat of Mackellar in Sydney.
