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.

"Blogger/Journalist" - some people might consider it pejorative but it doesn't have to be. Certainly less negative connotations than "influencer" which suggests someone paid to astroturf products and services on social media.
