West going greens

This is Flick's photo, but I think it shows the awesome successes of the Greens over in the west.

This weekend, Adele Carles wrestled the lower house state seat of Fremantle from the ALP, becoming the first lower house Greens member in Australia (if you discount ACT, TAS and QLD, who only have one house). This means party status for the WA Greens, alongside the huge step of gaining more primary votes than the ALP in an election.

Well done to everyone involved, especially Adele.
