Post-election carve-up

Hi all,

Well the results of the State election are in (a while ago now). A summary:

The ALP won convincingly overall. The Liberals regained a seat or two they lost to independents in past bi-elections. The Nationals picked up a seat or two.

The upper house result for the Greens was great. We scored almost 9% with a positive swing to us. the upper house campaign should be delighted with the re-election of lee Rhiannon and the introduction of a new Greens MLC Dr. John Kaye. Well done John!!!! I can think of no one more qualified to represent the people of NSW and the Greens. I look forward to his style of politics.

The seats in the Hawkesbury were a mixed bag. The seat of hawkesbury scored less than 6% and Londonderry scored less than 7%. i would like to thank all of the committed Hawkesbury greens members who helped on election day and on the lead up to the election.

The election was a fantastic experience. I hope to participate in future elections for the Greens in some capacity. The upcoming the federal Election poses many challenges for the Greens with the resurgence of the ALP. I hope to participate in the campaigning, particularly on the Senate campaign.
