Original title: She Really Thought Nobody Would Notice

I changed the title to describe what the video is about in a clearer and less clickbaity way.

Description:

Georgia Tree, WA Labor's candidate for the Secret Harbour by-election, dodges questions about her past role as a Woodside lobbyist before admitting on camera she's pro-gas. Woodside donated over $13,000 to Labor shortly after her candidacy was announced.

edit: updated title from "influencer" to "journalist" after it turns out the person asking the questions is legitimate independent journalist Jesse Noakes at The Last Place on Earth.

I know you didn't ask, but Punters Politics is great btw.. Very level-headed political analysis in the videos I've seen from him, and he seems to be getting through positive messaging to a young demographic with his approach. Which is so important with all the mountains of cash being astroturfed into fake groups like 'Advance Australia' to push pro-oil&gas and anti-Greens messaging to that non-politically informed demo.

    Oh yeah I'm a big fan. Only discovered him a few months ago but he does great stuff.

    But in this case he's not the one being referred to as an "influencer". That was the creator of the video Punter Konrad is commenting on in this video.

    Which as it happens, I just discovered was created by an actual legit independent journalist, Jesse Noakes.
