By New Matilda on January 25, 2016 The Insider

Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt is a powerful man, but apparently, even he can’t choose family.

With his first cousin Clarity Greenwood – or, more formally, Jen Hunt – said to be hugging a tree in the Pilliga State Forest to protest against a coal seam gas project that Minister Hunt will have to approve – the festive season may have been a little awkward this year.
