AN electric car-led campaign has backfired for a Greens election candidate facing a drink-driving charge.
Rosalie Ellen Woodruff, 48, has appeared in the Hobart Magistrate's Court on a single count after recording a blood alcohol level of 0.065 in June.
Dr Woodruff is a federal candidate for the southern Tasmanian seat of Franklin, currently held by newly promoted cabinet minister Julie Collins.
She is yet to enter a plea but issued an apology through the party.
"Ms Woodruff apologised unreservedly for the incident," a Greens statement said.
Dr Woodruff, who is a renowned epidemiologist and a local councillor, arrived at her campaign launch last year in a Daihatsu converted to run on electricity.
She said Tasmania could become a centre for electrical conversions, which cost about $15,000 per car.
Greens leader Christine Milne said disciplinary action, if deemed necessary, would be handled locally by the party.
"Of course I don't condone drink driving," Senator Milne said.
Dr Woodruff will reappear in court on September 5.
