It’s A ‘Greens-Slide’: Greens Celebrate Best Results In History And Massive Lower House Gains

The Australian Greens party celebrated its best election results in history on Sunday afternoon. The party achieved huge results in the House of Representatives while retaining all its Senate spots. Now the third biggest political party in Australia, the Greens have absolutely skyrocketed up the voting leaderboard this election with almost a third of the total votes Labor or the Liberals each picked up. This is officially more votes than ever before. The party’s primary vote also increased nationally by 1.9 per cent to a total of 12.3 per cent. “People have backed the Greens in record numbers and delivered a massive mandate for action on climate and inequality,” Leader Adam Bandt said on Sunday.

This is the best @Greens result in our history.

More people voted Greens than ever before. You made it clear you want the next government to go further and faster on climate change and inequality. We’re ready. — Adam Bandt (@AdamBandt) May 22, 2022
