Minor parties in a green election - a Green Perspective.

- Abstract
This article discusses the political position held by the Green Party of Australia in the 2007 federal elections in Australia. The Australian Electoral Commission's lack of publicity for preferential and plural voting arrangements in some Australian states, also referred to as tertiary qualifications, is cited as one reason for the outcome. The successful presentation of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) as the party of environmental justice is also cited as a concern. The public perception of the Green party as a single-issue environmentalist party is also addressed. The position of the Greens among the minor parties in the federal and Queensland elections is assessed.
