The decision by a Climate 200 Teal candidate to use a promotional colour similar to One Nation’s signature orange hue has raised eyebrows.

Former Liberal Party MP Craig Kelly took issue with Michelle Milthorpe’s team for using the colour in the lead-up to the Farrer by-election, which will also be contested by the conservative-leaning One Nation.
