It’s official.

Melanie Selwood has been elected to the Legislative Council.

We cannot wait to hear her strong voice in parliament, pushing for action on the cost of living, housing affordability, and the climate crisis.

As she joins Robert Simms, with a track record of delivering for her community as Deputy Mayor in the Adelaide Hills, and being a leader in the arts, she knows how to turn ideas into action. We’re beyond excited to see what they’ll achieve together.

The next four years will be big.

In a time we’ve seen wealth inequality grow, our environment suffering, and politicians hellbent on dividing us, it’s powerful to see hundreds of thousands of South Australians stand up for hope, not hate.

You made this happen 💚

Every doorknock, chat, phonecall, letterbox drop, and every minute you spent on the polling booths has gotten us to where we are today. You’ve made every single moment count – and you’ve made an impact that will last for years to come.

Now, our legislative council is one Greens member stronger, our movement is stronger than ever, and we're filled with hope for the future.

Even the UK is pushing for votes at 16!

The Green party is the most popular among all UK voters under the age of 65, new polling from YouGov shows.

Zack Polanski’s party is polling at 26%, six points ahead of Reform UK, among 18 to 64-year-olds surveyed by the pollster at the beginning of March, while Labour is on 17%.

The poll of 2,073 adults was conducted following the Greens’ historic byelection win in Gorton and Denton.

It put the Greens in second place among voters of all ages, just two points behind Reform.

Among voters over 65, the Greens polled at only 6%, while Reform was by far the most popular party at 33%.

Demographic and legal changes before the next election, which will happen no later than August 2029, could further tip the odds in favour of the Greens.

Legislation to allow people to vote from the age of 16 at the next general election has started its journey through parliament.
