The Greens have released their party list for the election. Unlike last time, when they were coming out of a generational renewal, this list is more aimed at locking in the talented team elected in 2011. There's some minor juggling, reflecting the relative differences in performance among the MPs, but no major upsets. Steffan Browning and Denise Roche now get to be the cusp candidates, to make way for James Shaw and for their more popular caucus mates. There's some great new talent lined up behind them on the list as well, but the Greens will have to do better than ever before to get them elected (or I suppose have some more mid-term renewal, but there's no-one in their team that I really want to see gone yet).
As with previous elections, I've done a table showing candidates relative placements with last time:
