local greens results

Now the dust has well and truly settled thought I'd have a look at how the Greens primary vote fared in the local area.

This time round I can report that Kallista had the highest Greens vote, at the last state election it was Selby. Has there been a shift, did the Kallista Market play a role in terms of where people cast their vote? The next test between Selby and Kallista, next year's state election!

Here's the results of the Greens primary vote in the top 20 polling booths across the federal electorates of Casey and Latrobe.

37.81% Kallista (LaTrobe)
34.08% Kallista (Casey)
31.25% Warburton
26.18% Mt Dandenong (Casey)
24.93% Belgrave
24.92% The Patch
23.48% Selby
22.25% Ferny Creek
21.94% Mt Dandenong (LaTrobe)
21.54% Tecoma
20.70% Sassafras
19.49% Belgrave South
18.42% Olinda
17.42% Upwey
16.99% Upper Ferntree Gully
16.90% Don Valley
16.51% Healesville Central
16.38% Healesville
16.30% East Warburton
16.06% Menzies Creek

Congratulations to Adam Bandt, re-elected to Melbourne and to Janet Rice, the second Greens Senator for Victoria, great results for the Greens in Victoria.

Now we're at the pointy end of the election campaign, less than a week to go, watch the major parties go the negative campaign with great deal of me-tooing along the way. However you'll see none of this from The Greens. The party who has been concerned since its inception about climate change and has always been concerned about long term sustainable solutions locally and globally.

Running as the Greens lead candidate for the Senate for Victoria is Richard Di Natale. I have met Richard on a number of occasions, he has taken the time to travel to the Dandenongs numerous times to listen to local concerns, he would be an outstanding senator for the people Victoria.
