	Australian Greens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian Greens, commonly known as The Greens, is the Green political party in Australia.
		The precursor to the Tasmanian Greens (the earliest existent member of the federation of parties that is the Australian Greens), the United Tasmania Group, was founded in 1972 to oppose the construction of new dams to flood Lake Pedder.
		The Greens do not have formal links to environmental organisations commonly labelled by the media as "green groups" such as the Australian Conservation Foundation, The Wilderness Society and Greenpeace, all of whom claim to be non-political.

	S/R 13: The Tasmanian Greens
		The Greens were formed in 1972 at a tumultuous public meeting to save this nation's most stunning natural treasure, Lake Pedder, a large wilderness lake with an immense pink quartzite beach, surrounded by mountains and pristine wilderness.
		Although the Tasmanian Greens have been immersed in wilderness controversy, during their 13 years of representation their biggest legislative successes have been in the area of improving democratic systems and in social policy.
		Green reps from these three countries are now working together to try to put a stop to the transport of nuclear wastes through international waters in our area of the Pacific.

	Tasmanian Logging Yields World Record Green Vote
		The four Greens were elected after the party polled 18.2 percent statewide - described as the highest Green vote in state or national elections anywhere in the world.
		However, the Greens, widely described as the real opposition in the state, won three new seats at the expense of the divided conservative Liberal Party to add to its one existing seat.
		Underlying the surge in the Tasmanian green vote, up from 10 percent in the 1998 election, was a groundswell of opposition to the increasing level of logging of old-growth forests.

	ARPA: Where do the Greens fit in Election 2004?
		The most notable case of the Greens holding parliamentary power, and the case cited as evidence for their inability to govern, is their experience in the Tasmanian parliament in the 1990s.
		The Tasmanian Greens held the balance of power in a Labor minority government from 1989 to 1992, and in a Liberal minority government from 1996 to 1998 (Crowley 1999).
		The Greens’ performance will be closely watched, but the idea that the Greens are somehow unsuited to the balance of power role does not seem to hold in practice or in the minds of voters.

		The Greens are dismayed that 60% of so-called reserves are not formally protected and in reality constitute a deceptive counting in of the scraps and slivers inside forest production areas which would never have been logged under Forest Practices planning such as streamside reserves and isolated changes of threatened forest types.

	What happened in the Tasmanian election - On Line Opinion - 22/7/2002
		As for the Greens, despite the fact that its leader Ms Putt, claims that it is not a one issue party, the reality of this election is that it was on the forests bandwagon that it scored its excellent result.
		So despite the euphoria of the election result the Greens might find life a lot tougher over the next four years, particularly if the Liberals and the ALP are to seriously seek to end the impasse over logging old growth forests and the State's over-reliance on woodchips as exports.
		Tasmanian elections throw up quirky results but this election was not one of those occasions.
