Greens will hold balance of power in Senate

ABC News

The Australian Greens increased their Senate vote from 5 to 14 per cent in yesterday’s Federal Election, and look likely to claim a total of nine Senate and one House of Representatives seat. With the major parties polling neck-and-neck, this would hand the Greens the balance of power in the Senate. Greens leader Senator Bob Brown described the election result as a “greenslide”.
