what are teal seats

Teal seats are not a commonly used term. However, "teal independents" or "teal candidates" refer to a loosely-aligned group of centrist, independent or minor party politicians in Australian politics. They have been labelled "teal" because of their use of the color teal in campaign branding, which has been interpreted as a blend of the green of the environmental movement and the blue of the Liberal Party. Teal independents have been described as varying from center-left to center-right in political orientation, with a focus on inner-urban, prosperous seats, held mainly by Liberals on the moderate wing of the party. Their policies largely overlap, with a strong focus on climate action.
