Greens Suffer Major Swings, LNP and Labor Back in the Contest for Inner-City Voters

The Green’s position may have been undermined by their ongoing support for radical protest movements.

The only two seats held by the Greens Party in the Queensland state Parliament remain at risk as the left-wing party suffered major swings against it from inner city voters.

At the time of writing, the Greens have not officially secured either seat, and are forecast to lose South Brisbane with a 12.4 percent swing to Labor.
