Teals are apparently looking to recruit someone in Peter Dutton's seat.
ASV, you know more about Queensland than I do, but is Dutton in any trouble if a good, community-backed independent is found to stand against him with Climate200s money behind them?
Dutton is in trouble with Labor, not a teal independent. Brisbane's geography can be deceiving, they don't have the rich suburbs stretching out like in Sydney and Melbourne. It's demographically pretty similar to Aston or Hughes, but politically with a higher floor for the Labor vote.
It's always been centred on the former Pine Rivers Shire - the innermost council that escaped merger into the City of Brisbane. Because of this it never got any tram lines or city buses, and remained undeveloped much later than suburbs south of the river. It was developed in the 60s with a much more outer suburban character and surprisingly low rates of commuters to the CBD due to the railway's alignment and lack of transport connections from Brisbane City Council.
I haven't heard anything about a Climate200s backed challenge, and honestly it'd probably help Dutton's chances for re-election from their leakage on transfers. But regardless Dutton shouldn't have a serious challenge given the current swing against state Labor.
