Greens claim first seat win at a Queensland election citing nationwide swing

ABC  

The Greens are claiming the wealthy Brisbane seat of Maiwar as their first to be won at a Queensland election, attributing what they say is a historic victory to a nationwide swing. "This morning we're claiming victory in the seat of Maiwar, which is obviously a historic moment for the Queensland Greens, for us to win our first seat in the Queensland Parliament," he said. 'We want to see an end to corporate donations' Vote counting continues for the Queensland election more than a week after polls closed, with Labor looking like it will hold a fragile majority of one seat. "I absolutely think the Greens are absolutely a party that's moving into a position where we will be involved in forming government at some point in the future," he said.
