Rochelle Flood, Co Convenor for The Greens NSW said: “These legal proceedings are a last-ditch attempt by two Greens members to derail the party’s ticket and its election campaign.
These individuals have had ample opportunity, over several months, to put the case for a recount.
They had an opportunity to take a proposal to last weekend’s State Delegates Council (SDC), but declined to do so.
They could have launched legal proceedings at any time since last year. Instead, they have waited until the stroke of midnight, with nominations to the electoral commission already open and due in a matter of days.
We can only conclude that this is simply an attempt to wreck the party’s campaign, and Greens NSW will defend the action in court.
The time, money and energy spent on this would have been better devoted to throwing out this dreadful government.
The Greens NSW will defend the action in court."
