We have pointed it out a few times as well, but Andrew Carswell, who was Scott Morrison’s chief spinner in his PMO (and treasurer’s office) has also had a pretty big role in this campaign as a media commentator. He is often introduced as a former Liberal party advisor and ‘consultant’.

Consultant is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Carswell’s Headline Advisory has the Minerals Council as a client, which doesn’t get declared, and should, given the Minerals Council support of Coalition policies such as nuclear.

You can guarantee that if a former Labor party advisor turned consultant had green groups as clients, that these same hosts that have Carswell on to talk the campaign, would make a point of declaring those clients.
