Richard Di Natale has spent the past three days driving an electric car up the North Coast of NSW. While Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten officially paused their election campaigning over the Easter weekend, the Greens leader has been protesting against the Adani mine in an anti-coal convoy.

Di Natale is not taking a break, because he feels there is no time to lose.
"Climate change matters more than anything else at this election because it is, quite literally, an existential threat to humanity," he told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
"This has got to be a climate change election because we're running out of time.”
The 2019 election is also a critical election for the Greens and their position in the parliamentary ecosystem. Six of the party's nine senators are up for re-election, with three of them, Sarah Hanson-Young in South Australia, Larissa Waters in Queensland and Mehreen Faruqi in NSW, facing tough battles to retain their seats.
