Up next @DaveSharma & @drkerrynphelps go head to head on a #Wentworth themed debate #auspol #listen: ab.co/2gqvLUH

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps .@PatsKarvelas: Isn't the problem for you that you will vote for the govt so you will vote for what many in #Wentworth think is inadequate action on climate change?

@DaveSharma: I believe in responsible action on climate change and I support the Govt's policy on this

#auspol

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas .@drkerrynphelps: neither major party has a fine record when it comes to action on climate change or developing a cohesive climate change policy over the last decade

#auspol #RNDrive

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas .@DaveSharma: I believe climate change is a serious threat but I do honestly believe that the best place we can have an impact is internationally... Australia acting alone is going to be insufficient to address this problem

#auspol #RNDrive

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas .@PatsKarvelas: Now you're not preferencing anyone [liberals or Labor]... has the damage been done on this issue?

@drkerrynphelps: ...there are only 7 candidates at this election & as an independent, at this point I would like to have no preferences

#auspol #RNDrive

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas .@PatsKarvelas: Given what Clive Palmer has been accused of, do you feel comfortable with [making a preference deal with him]?

@DaveSharma: Look I don't think a preference deal is a condonement or approval or anything for a candidate

#auspol #RNDrive

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas .@PatsKarvelas: But the deal means [Clive Palmer] becomes a Senator, you help him become a Senator

@DaveSharma: I don't know whether that's the case or not but these decisions are for the party organisation

#auspol #RNDrive

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas .@PatsKarvelas: the Liberals have suggested you'll side with Labor on major issues... are you going to be supporting major Labor policies?

@drkerrynphelps: As an independent I will assess each of legislation on it's merits & for an independent every vote is a conscience vote

@DaveSharma @drkerrynphelps @PatsKarvelas "I don't think you can take a seat like Wentworth for granted... I've given the voters every reason to vote for me again" @drkerrynphelps
