ALP rejects directing preferences to the Greens

Greens_logo_copyDaniel Andrews and the ALP announced today they’ve rejected directing preferences to the Greens.

It seems that a vote for Labor is now a vote for Christian fundamentalists, Shooters or even Liberals.

Unfortunately, it seems Labor is more interested in conspiring with right wing parties and the Liberals on preferences to lock the Greens out of Parliament, than in getting progressive change.

Labor have preferenced right-wing parties before. In 2004 their preferences got Stephen Fielding from Family First elected in the Senate and knocked out the Greens.

Luckily, we know we can win Northcote without preferences

If just 2000 voters switch to Greens this election, Northcote can have a new voice in Parliament.

A vote for the Greens on 29 November is a vote for:

  • stopping East West Link and building Chandler Express;
  • stronger State planning laws and a ban on developer donations;
  • leadership on climate and 2000 new clean energy jobs; and
  • quality health and education regardless of your ability to pay

With your support, we can do it!

With 3 weeks to go, we need all hands on deck to get Trent elected.
