We can all be very proud of what the Greens have just achieved together across the country.

We’re confident Scott Ludlam in WA, Sarah Hanson-Young in SA, Peter Whish-Wilson in Tasmania and Adam Bandt in Melbourne have been re-elected. And we are set to increase our numbers in parliament with Janet Rice joining them as the new Australian Greens Senator for Victoria. We’re also a chance in the ACT, where it will come down to the wire between Simon Sheikh and the Liberals.

Here in NSW it looks unlikely I will be elected at this stage. This is despite the truly incredible campaigns run by our 48 lower house candidates, supported by many thousands of our members and supporters across the state. You have all done an amazing job.

Thank you.

Did you know that when a political debate is proposed that the Labor and Liberal candidates refuse to appear if The Greens are included?

So many people are voting at a pre-poll location this year. This means they miss out on the sausage sizzle fun of election day Saturday. But they also avoid the queues... maybe early voters are on to something! Have you voted Green yet?

Here’s how to vote for Cate this Saturday! It’s easy, it’s important: it’ll stop the Senate going to the far right and a likely Tony Abbott government getting full control.

Share, share, share… and remember to Vote 1 above the line for The Greens (Group R) to get Cate into the Senate.

Handing out 'how to vote' cards on a polling booth on Election Day adds about 2% to the vote at the booth. I am in the fight of my life to ensure the Greens beat Pauline Hanson and the Shooters Party to that final Senate seat in NSW. Please give a couple of hours, or better still a half or full day, to help us win. Will you help out? Sign up: http://greens.org.au/electionday

In Newcastle and the Hunter, coal dust is a major issue. Coal trains travel from the north west of the state, right through Hunter Valley villages and Newcastle sububrs, to reach the port of Newcastle - it exposes thousands of people to coal dust on its way. Only The Greens are standing up to the government and coal industry to campaign to have coal wagons covered, and to invest in clean energy instead of more dirty coal.

Visiting Kings Cross markets to campaign with our candidate for Wentworth, Matthew Robertson, and to meet some of the excellent locals.

With Senator Rachel Siewert and the Eco Divers at Manly to launch our initiative to protect sharks from live finning. You can read our plan here: http://greensmps.org.au/sites/default/files/stop-illegal-shark-finning.pdf

It was wonderful to visit Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park with some of our great Greens lower house team: Jonathan King for Mackellar, Pippa McInnes for Bradfield and John Storey for Berowra. We love visiting our National Parks. We've seen what has happened with our Coalition led state government doing deals with the Shooters' party to open up more recreational space to shooting... we are standing up to prevent that same thing happening at a federal level. We need the Greens in our parliament to protect the places we love.

Wearing it purple to support rainbow youth - because we are all fabulous just as we are!

Hanging out with the fabulous Senator Sarah Hanson-Young at Hyde Park this morning, showing of our brand new marriage equality coreflutes. The Greens are the only that supports marriage equality and will vote for legislation when it comes before the parliament. No ifs, no buts.

When it comes to your vote in the Senate then, The Greens are the only party that supports marriage equality and will vote for legislation when it comes before the parliament. No ifs, no buts.
