Congratulations to my wife Susan for standing up for what she believes in. She stood for the Greens and did her best in record temperatures in the first election in a Queensland summer in a century - and don't we know why that is now!
A huge thank you to the people who helped us as well, both the Greens volunteers and our friends Jade and Craig, for all their help on the day.
It was a gruelling run and the final tallies are not in yet but she has easily maintained the Greens presence in Algester even if we were unable to win the seat. I would like to wish Leeanne Enoch all the best as the first indigenous Australian to win a seat in Queensland, I am sure she will be a great leader for Algester and a huge boost to the indigenous Australian community which has been a target of so many of the LNP cuts.
For the state as a whole, I confidently expect to see a Labor government, and I hope that they remember the lessons of this election and that the public will be watching - keep your promises Annastacia Palaszczuk, the state has put its trust in you.
