We’re heading down Peninsula Link (or the scenic route) for this last edition of TGSOT before the federal election. Despi O’Connor is the independent Climate 200 candidate battling for the seat of Flinders, hoping to fill the vacuum left by Greg Hunt. She’s a significant figure in the local community - a former mayor, no less - and ‘name recognition’ might be her secret weapon. Here we’re chatting about the climate credentials of independents, local matters in Flinders, an eligibility hiccup, and the under-utilised French Island. Good luck, Despi!
