We were overwhelmed by the level of support and well wishes received.

In a polarised election, where votes for the major parties increased at the expense of other parties, The Greens vote nationally increased. However in Cook and Hughes we suffered swings back to Labor. Unfortunately it seems climate change was a secondary concern in many voters minds compared to the feel good factor of Kevin Rudd and YR@W.

Our Senate vote was also higher than our vote in the House of Representatives, confirming that people looked to The Greens to restore accountability and a progressive focus to the Senate. We have picked up at least 2 more Senate seats in WA & SA, with still some hope in Victoria.

However most disappointingly in NSW, Kerry Nettle has not been re-elected, despite an increased vote to 8.4%. Kerry will continue as a Greens Senator until the end of June 2008 and we warmly thank Kerry for her support for us, tireless work and tremendous performances during her six years in office.
