The Green list

The Greens have released their party list for this year's election. There's a few changes from DPF's version - David Clendon and Gareth Hughes have swapped places, while Mike Ward has moved up significantly. The top order are as you'd expect, with co-leader Russel Norman taking Rod Donald's number two slot, and Meyt moving up. Newcomer Kevin Hague is almost guaranteed a seat if the Greens make it back into Parliament, and if they do well, Catherine Delahunty may be joining them.

As with last election, I've done a table showing candidate's relative placements with last time. As with all small parties, there's a high degree of turnover, and a lot of new faces.
