New Greens MP Michael Berkman is looking forward to the opportunity to put Greens policies and values forward as the new member for Maiwar.
He told Green Left Weekly that it was a “hugely significant result” for the Greens to win their first seat in Queensland and a significant increase in their vote in other seats.
“One of the common myths about the Greens is that it is a wasted vote,” he said. And that is a myth he is keen to bust.
