Here are a couple of articles from GLW about recent electoral experiences in Australia:
* Greens advance as Labor returned in Qld election ( https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/greens-advance-labor-returned-qld-election ) : "The most important result of the Queensland election is the advance of the Greens. The Greens have increased their representation from one to at least two members of parliament." * Four socialists elected to Melbourne councils ( https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/four-socialists-elected-melbourne-councils ) : There has been a surge of support for socialist candidates in the Victorian local councils elections, with four socialists elected to three councils. The postal vote ran from October 6-23. Sue Bolton, standing with a team of Socialist Alliance members and independents, was re-elected to the City of Moreland Council for a third term, winning 12.1% of the vote. Jorge Jorquera from the Victorian Socialists was elected to Maribyrnong council for the first time, receiving 8.76%. Stephen Jolly and Brigid O’Brien were re-elected to the Yarra Council with 26.07% and 15.13% of the vote respectively. This will be Jolly’s fifth term as councillor. Other socialists also received significant votes: Sarah Hathway (Socialist Alliance) received 15.81% in the Greater Geelong council; George Kanjere (Victorian Socialists VS) received 12.6% in Darebin Council; Liz Walsh (VS) received 10.61% in Maribyrnong Council and Nahui Jimenez (VS) received 10% in Moreland Council. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
