Greens loss in Prahran a victory for mainstream Australians

The voters of Prahran delivered a stinging rebuke to the Greens on Saturday, after ADVANCE and local community groups joined forces to win a massive swing away from the radical left party.

After a close count overnight and further counting on Sunday morning, the Greens have now conceded defeat.

This is an incredible result for the hundreds of amazing hard-working volunteers who suffered through days of abuse and inappropriate conduct from Greens activists.

The campaign was supercharged by Sharon, Simonne and other community members from J United and was supported by ADVANCE who have been campaigning against the Greens for the past year.

Our campaign sent a simple message: the Greens used to be about the environment, but they now instead embrace an extreme ideology that includes supporting violent pro-Hamas protests and turning a blind eye to the October 7 terror attacks.

With a policy agenda that also includes decriminalisation of all drugs including heroin and ice, and slugging Australians with an inheritance tax – it’s clear that the Greens are not who they used to be.

This is a fantastic win for ADVANCE and its 330,000 supporters.

We have made reducing the Greens vote our mission and this win means we are on the right track.

More and more Australians are seeing the truth that the Greens are not who they used to be.

Australians don’t want the kind of politics the Greens offer. We don’t want violence and chaos in our streets, we don’t want our kids having easier access to drugs, and we don’t want a death tax.

This result means we are going to double down on our campaign against the Greens.

This is an amazing result and win both for the Jewish community and all Australians

People from across Melbourne, from all walks of life have come together to support this campaign against the Greens.

We’ve had enough and we’re pushing back on the Greens because they have lost their way.

The engagement of multicultural and multifaith communities with everyday Australians is a clear sign that we have all had enough and couldn’t vote Greens, not this time.
