Topic: 2004 Australian Greens candidates

    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

The Poll Bludger The system's closest Australian relative is that for the Tasmanian lower house, sharing with it rotating ordering of candidates on the ballot paper so that candidates must compete for votes with party colleagues, in contrast to the otherwise similar Senate system where the parties determine the order of their lists. A poll published in the Canberra Times on election eve has Labor on 55 per cent, Liberal on 30 per cent and the Greens on 11 per cent (after allocation of undecided), suggesting 10 seats for Labor might not be out of the question after all. Chief Minister Jon Stanhope's Labor Party goes into the October 16 election with eight members in the 17-seat chamber, governing with the consent of one Green and one Democrat. www.pollbludger.com /act2004.htm

The 2004 ACT election Much of the government’s legislation was passed in the previous Assembly with the negotiated support of the Greens and the Democrats. It was trialled by the ACT Electoral Commission in the 2001 ACT election and again in 2004. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Legislative Assembly election was held on 16 October 2004, a week after the Federal election. www.aph.gov.au /library/pubs/rn/2004-05/05rn23.htm

us greens.org: multi-media of, by and for the us greens: weblog But even a cursory look at Nader's numbers in 2004 as compared to 2000 indicates to me that the Greens were unlikely to gain more than a small fraction of their 2000 presidential vote totals in 2004 regardless of which of the two (Cobb or Nader) they nominated or endorsed. I am also green with envy of the Australian parliamentary system of government in which minority parties gain power in proportion to the votes their candidates receive. My problem with your CounterPunch article ("Greens and Greenbacks") is that you seem to have concluded that the comparatively poor performance of (illegitimate) Cobb in 2004 when compared to (legitimate) Nader in 2000 was the result of the flawed system. www.usgreens.org /weblog

I am also green with envy of the Australian parliamentary system of government in which minority parties gain power in proportion to the votes their candidates receive. Therefore in 2004, Maryland voters who oppose American Empire must vote for the Green Party’s David Cobb or the Libertarian Party’s Michael Badnarik, as they are the only presidential candidates on the ballot who represent serious political parties opposed to American Empire. www.usgreens.org /weblog

[Roy Morgan Research] Morgan Poll The composition of the full Senate after a half Senate election in September 2004 would have been: L-NP (32 seats, down 3 seats), the ALP (27 seats), Australian Democrats (4 seats), Pauline Hanson (1 seat), Australian Greens 6 seats (a gain of four seats) with 6 seats too close to call. Among the minor parties support for the Australian Democrats was down 1.2% to 6%, One Nation support was down 4.1% to 1.5% and support for Other Parties and Independent Candidates up 0.8% to 7%. The remaining seat would be a contest between the Australian Democrats, Greens and an Independent — not the Liberal Party. www.roymorgan.com /news/polls/2004/3786   (681 words)

Family First Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The party's leader is Steve Fielding, a Victorian elected to the Australian Senate in 2004. This resulted in an unexpected and controversial victory in Victoria, where candidate Steve Fielding was elected on preferences, despite being outpolled by the Australian Greens ' David Risstrom by a ratio of more than four to one first-preference votes. In the October 2004 federal election it contested seats all over Australia, and its preferences assisted the re-election of a number of Liberal candidates. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Family_First_Party   (1079 words)

Brunswick, Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Australian Greens candidates are gaining an increasing proportion of the vote, and in 2002 elected a Greens Councillor to Moreland Council. In 2004, Brunswick and nearby Carlton were the location of several murders in what has been widely reported in Melbourne's media as a "underworld war"; in any case, the violence occurred between a numerically tiny group of organised criminals and left the overwhelming majority of residents unaffected. Brunswick has long been a stronghold of left-wing politics in Melbourne, with the federal and state parliamentary seats held by the Australian Labor Party with very comfortable margins over the conservatives. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Brunswick,_Victoria   (1407 words)

The socialist alternative in the 2004 Australian election Support the Socialist Equality Party campaign That is why the Socialist Equality Party unequivocally opposes Canberra’s neo-colonial interventions and demands the immediate withdrawal of all Australian and foreign troops and police from East Timor, the Solomon Islands and elsewhere in the region. In light of the long history of political surveillance, harassment and provocation of political opponents—particularly socialists and communists—by the state, this amounts to a flagrant attack on the democratic rights of minor political parties and their members and election candidates, as well as on those who wish to vote for them. To muzzle any genuine political alternative, the Labor and Liberal parties, supported by the Democrats and Greens, have united to push through anti-democratic restrictions aimed at impeding the registration of new political parties and imposing extensive supervision of existing ones. www.wsws.org /articles/2004/sep2004/sepe-s06.shtml   (366 words)
