New research suggests independents and minor party popularity is surging. The latest polling indicates SA Greens maintain 12 percent support, with the party positioning themselves as holding Labor to account.
With at least seven new candidates running this year – including Melanie Selwood, the Greens lead candidate for the Legislative Council – the party continue to advocate for social housing, 50 cent public transport, reaching net-zero targets, and improving the state’s algae bloom crisis.
