A 76-year-old woman arrested and charged for trespassing at Liberal MP Sarah Henderson’s office said she’ll be back again to protest against political inaction on climate change, and that “everyone in this country should be doing the same to their local representatives”.

| Caroline Danaher, 76, was charged for trespassing at Liberal MP Sarah Henderson’s office. |
Every Friday for the past four months, Caroline Danaher has sat outside Henderson’s office with two deck chairs. In 40C heat or in the rain, her goal is a meeting with Henderson, whose office is in the marginal Victorian seat of Corangamite.
After a redistribution it went from being Liberal-held by 3.1% to being nominally Labor by 0.3%. With Henderson under pressure to regain the Liberal’s hold on the seat, Danaher says it is the ideal time to question her about climate change.
