Teal independents face a changed political landscape in the upcoming 2025 federal election, moving from an environment fueled by anti-Scott Morrison sentiment to one where cost of living is the primary concern, the Guardian reports.

Climate 200’s executive director highlights that the incumbents’ track records and the ongoing decline of major party votes suggest potential opportunities for independents to expand their representation in Parliament.

Focused on supporting up to 30 candidates, Climate 200 has already raised $7.6 million for the campaign, indicating continued financial backing for the teal movement.
