Leader Adam Bandt celebrates ‘massive mandate’ and says Greens are willing to talk to Anthony Albanese if Labor fails to win majority government

With uncertainty remaining over whether Labor could form government in its own right, Bandt said the Greens were “willing to talk” with Anthony Albanese.

“On climate, you’ve seen … how much of an issue it was and there was an attempt from Labor and Liberal to bury it.” Max Chandler-Mather, Greens candidate in the seat of Griffith, hands out how-to-vote leaflets at the Brisbane State high polling booth on Saturday.The Greens took the seat of South Brisbane in the last state election, which is in the same area as Griffith, turfing the former deputy premier Jackie Trad out of parliament.

“The biggest asset that the political establishment has is low expectations. Well tonight, we raised those expectations.” If the party wins the three Senate seats it would bring their number in the upper house to 12 and put them on track to hold the balance of power.“We’ve just had three years of droughts and then fires and now floods and floods again. People can see that this is happening and it is unfolding, and I think increasingly what we are seeing is that that cuts across all voting situations, cuts across all demographics.
