I don't understand how the territories work. I thought it was simply two seats up for election at every election, how can 40% get you two seats? On the implications this has for the Greens they need to decide what they want to move onto after they win the balance of power. For the better part of the decade winning the balance of power has been the objective to work towards. I think Brown should not recontest the senate but stand in Tanner's electorate. With a candidate of Brown's stature they can probably win it, maybe enter Andrew Wilkie in Sydney. The next step is really to force a hung parliament and I think the way to do that is line up some candidates in the socialist seats so when the Rudd government becomes older and unpopular they can whack them from the flank.
