Australia Greens

Yeah! Australia Greens!

這是澳洲綠黨第一次在下議院 (Lower House) 選上一席，而且是在 Melbourne (墨爾本)，為 Greens 歡呼。不過如果不是澳洲特殊的計票方式，Greens 的總票數其實是低於 Labor Party (ALP)，還好澳洲和台灣及美國有不同的投票計票方式，使得綠黨的理念可以影響到政策的實踐。

根據澳洲選委會 (Updated: 22/08/2010 11:23:22 AM) 目前的開票結果 (Enrolment: 14,088,260 Turnout: 77.88%)，澳洲綠黨在上議院 (Upper House, 也就是 Senate) 的 first preference 獲得 1,183,541 選票 (11.43%)。
