While Greens MP Ronan Lee is in a very tough position to win Indooroopilly, the State-wide vote of 8.23% is a record high, Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown said in Brisbane today.
"These are tough numbers for Ronan, but it will go down to the wire," Senator Brown said.
"He is ahead of his times in Queensland politics. In an age of climate change, most voters have backed burning more coal. That's democracy.
"State-wide, this is hugely encouraging vote. It bodes well for the Greens winning a first Senate seat next year in the Federal election," Senator Brown said.
