There could just be a small nest of Greens roosting out there who all responded to the survey. We might have captured all of the seven greens who live in Eltham. And then again, we might not. Will be interesting to see the results tonight. Then again, it might not be that at all. When I analysed the postcodes on the Petro Georgiou petition <a href="http://petitions.nationalforum.com.au/petitions.asp?id=1" rel="nofollow">http://petitions.nationalforum.com.au/petitions.asp?id=1</a> I found a significant cluster of Greens in Page. You wouldn't call Page Greens territory, but just around Lismore and Nimbin they are actually quite thick on the ground and in a tight election could make the difference.

Their basketball team is called the "wildcats" which may or may not indicate a disdain for conservation. I suspect that a high proportion of parents 'beat' their children if they lose.
