Here are a  couple of articles from GLW about recent electoral experiences in Australia:

  • Greens advance as Labor returned in 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:

    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.
