What can I say? Thank you so much to everyone who turned Ryan Green. This was the moment the @abcnews called Ryan for the @Greens, but it’s just the beginning. I’m so proud of the campaign and everything we stood for. pic.twitter.com/8z0CROCBvH

just toppled ‘ safe Liberal seat of Ryan. Chandler-Mather and Watson-Brown have become just the third and second Greens MPs in federal parliament. Maybe you have to have a double barrelled surname to make it? They’ll now sit alongside party leader , who reps the seat of Melbourne. Bandt in the election. Chandler-Mather nabbed his seat from Labor’s . It’s been held by the Labor Party pretty consistently since 1998, so once again is a big old electoral upset. In fact, it’s ex-Prime Minister ‘s former seat. The seat of Griffith is seen as one of the most progressive in Australia with a large youth demographic. In contrast, the seat of Ryan has been held by the Liberals since 1972. 1972!!! Literal decades!!! Elizabeth Watson-Brown managed to score a 9.5 per cent swing from the LNP. That’s fkn music to my ears. BUT WAIT. Just because election night is over doesn’t mean the fallout is done. The teal independents experienced a massive swing last night.
