I confess that I am one who did not see the Labor tsunami coming. But it was more than that.
Mrs Aitchison was the hardest working of all the candidates and her grass roots campaigning reaped dividends.
The Greens result was a personal disappointment to me as we lost a few hundred voters.
But we gained a number of new members and volunteers along the way, so it’s not all bad news.
It’s also great to see the continued rise of The Greens across the state with a definite three and possibly five new MPs (including the upper house).
Despite the fall in votes, we, the Maitland Greens, won’t be going away anytime soon.
We have the policies and we have the commitment.
John Brown, Greens candidate for Maitland
