Chris Smith has pressed an independent candidate for North Sydney on her intentions behind her election campaign.
Kylea Tink admits she is funded in part by Climate 200, a non-profit group led by clean energy analyst Simon Holmes a Court.
The group is accused of helping parachute so-called “fake” independents into safe Liberal seats.
