Conservationists to target 'middle Australia' in election climate push

ACF aims to pour resources into three marginal seats to inflict electoral pain on major parties for policy failures

The Australian Conservation Foundation will target three marginal seats in Victoria and Queensland in a bid to push "middle Australia" to demand more action on climate change, its chief executive has said.

Kelly O'Shanassy made the comments at the National Press Club on Tuesday, unveiling the environmental group's election action plan to break the political deadlock over climate change.
