Victorian Election 2014
Election Campaign report
The Victorian Election campaign was our second major campaign, and like all election campaigns was a lot of hard work. A big thankyou to all the people who made the campaign possible by helping distribute fliers, donating money, running as candidates and / or handing out how to vote cards on election day.
Save the Planet ran four candidates in the lower house seats of Northcote, Brunswick, Monbulk and Frankston, and one candidate running in the upper house seat of Northern Metro. Our best performer again was Deano O’Callaghan whose strong community business profile helped our local campaigning efforts.
Dean O'Callaghan - Brunswick - 1.22%
Jordan Crook - Monbulk - 0.91%
Bryony Edwards - Northcote - 0.83%
Reade Smith - Frankston - 0.51%
Tiffany Harrision - Northern Metro Region - 0.04%
Highlights included Dean’s head to head effort against Labor leader Bill Shorten at the Brunswick Town Hall booth, and Bryony’s 2% primary vote and 2% second preference vote at the Bell Primary booth.
Bryony’s Bell Primary result was particularly encouraging as it showed that we can get good results if we are in areas where we have campaigned throughout the year and have a strong presence at the booth. Bryony’s 2% second preferences came despite being preferenced below the Rock and Roll party by the Greens, Labor and Liberal, showing that a total of 4% of voters at that booth cared enough about global warming to either put Bryony number 1 or 2.
