The Greens in the Western Suburbs kicked of their 2014 election campaign 
with a celebration at their newly opened campaign headquarters known as 
The Greenhouse. 
"The Greenhouse will be bustling with volunteers right through to the 
state election on November 29. The Greens continue to be the fastest 
growing political party and its thanks to our grassroots community 
support," said Greens MP for the Western Suburbs Colleen Hartland.
"We don't receive multi-million dollar corporate donations, which comes 
with undue influence on the political process, but we do have the 
community behind us."
"We're finding that people are shocked by the severity and devastation 
being wreaked by the Abbott government. People are refusing to be 
complacent; they are stepping up, getting active and contributing their 
time and energy to make change, and are choosing to do it with the 
Greens."
"It was a full house at the Change Starts Now party at The Greenhouse. The 
150 attendees enjoyed solar power brewed beer and wine from reusable glass 
bottles. Greens Leader Greg Barber spoke alongside Colleen Hartland MP and 
Field Organisers Melanie Audrey and Luke Stickles. One of Melbourne's best 
DJ's, DJ Mortisville, lent his support and set up a swinging dance floor."
"We're expecting many more community functions at this great events space. 
All are welcome to drop by and join us," said Ms Hartland.
The Greenhouse is located at 83B Gamon Street Yarraville and will be the 
Greens headquarters and events space for the Western Suburbs election 
campaign. Opening Hours are 12noon - 8pm Tuesday to Thursday, 9am-5pm 
Friday - Saturday. Sunday - Monday closed.
The Greens have pre-selected candidates for most seats within the Western 
Metropolitan Region including Footscray (Rod Swift), Williamstown (Simon 
Crawford), Altona (Chris de Bono), St Albans (Lisa Asbury), Sydenham (Alex 
Schlotzer), Werribee (Bro Sheffield-Brotherton), Tarneit (Rohan Waring), 
and Essendon (Ashley Waite). Candidates are yet to be pre selected for the 
Lower House seats of Sunbury and Niddrie.
