Canva exec donates $20,000 to Craig Kelly challenger

Senior players in Australia’s technology industry are joining efforts to bankroll grassroots candidates for the federal election, fed up with the Coalition’s obfuscation on climate change and a national anti-corruption commission.

Canva’s head of engineering, Brendan Humphreys, has donated $20,000 to independent candidate and corporate litigator Georgia Steele, who is running the Sydney seat of Hughes. It is currently held by Liberal defector Craig Kelly.
