The NSW Greens have accused the powerful industry lobby group the Australian Hotels Association of 'grubby political tactics' | LisaVisentin
The NSW Greens have accused the powerful industry lobby group the Australian Hotels Association of "grubby political tactics", after voters in key marginal seats said they were targeted by a push-polling campaign.
“Each of the questions implied, in total, that the Greens were a sexist, racist, and extreme left wing party.” One question concerned former upper house Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham, who quit the party in December after he was accused of sexually harassing a Greens volunteer - a claim he denies. Mr Parker believes the AHA NSW's motivation was the party's strong anti-gambling policies, which the party may be in a position to prosecute more forcefully should next week's election end in a hung Parliament.
