The Turning of the Tide

The last time I posted was the day before the Federal election and how the world has changed! The most memorable thing about it was how good I felt on the Sunday, it seemed like a weight had been lifted and there was hope for a future again.

That feeling of hope still lingers, there was definitely a change in what people thought about the Greens and what we had to offer, with enough Greens elected we formally achieved 'party' status at the national level.

Now there is a new opportunity to make a difference locally. For The Greens, being a grassroots organisation is our foundation. We work with the community and represent the community, we don't accept developer donations. More importantly though the local government election is the best chance of getting a Green voice heard in the local political arena.
