The Green Tide
It was interesting reading this article in The Drum: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2993914.htm
Myself, I'm wondering if the Greens are going to be able to hold on to the staggering swing they have had advantage of this general election.
The Greens have a strong branding based on environmental issues. With both parties eschewing strong climate change policy in the run-up to the election, The Greens have probably picked up a noticeable amount of votes on that issue alone. It would be interesting to see what would happen to The Greens' primary vote if either Labor or the Coalition took a strong stance to prevent climate change.
