How the Greens swept through Canberra
For four long and hard years, Shane Rattenbury served as the only Green in the Legislative Assembly.

But it was a lonely one.
Fast forward eight years, and the Greens will snare six seats.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
