The Teal Party has sent identical begging letters to former supporters in Kew and Hawthorn as their campaign support wanes.
The letters beg people to re-engage as the number of supporters continue to drop off.
Both letters are signed by Rob Baillieu. In the Kew letter he claims to be Chief of Staff to Sophie Torney, while in the Hawthorn letter he claims to be a Senior Advisor to Melissa Lowe.
The letters are further proof that the Teals are a political party with a centralised structure running the campaigns, support from Climate 200 in the form of funding and polling and three key policy positions across the campaign as dictated by Climate 200.
Adopting two different titles can’t disguise the centralised nature of their campaigns or their sliding support.
Further evidence of the lack of support is that Voices of Caulfield President, Alex Fein, who preselected Nomi Kaltmann as the Teal Party candidate for Caulfield, is resigning from that campaign.
The reality of the Teal Party candidates is that they are cats’ paws for the Labor Party. They only campaign against Liberals despite the fact that Labor has been in office in Victoria for the 19 years of the past 23 years.
It is Labor that is responsible for the grievances they hold from climate change to integrity and Labor that should be held to account as the Liberal Party is doing.
A vote for a Teal Party candidate will do nothing except help deliver a second decade of Daniel Andrews.
