[Greens-Media] Greens NSW announce preselection candidates for upper house casual vacancy

[The Greens NSW]

    Media Announcement – casual vacancy preselection

The Greens NSW have announced the candidates who have nominated in the
pre-selection ballot to replace Dr John Kaye in the NSW Legislative
Council (Upper House). A casual vacancy was created by the death of Dr
Kaye in May 2016.

Under the party’s rules, a ballot of the party’s grassroots membership
of over 4,000 will be conducted concluding in mid August. The successful
candidate is expected to be sworn in to the NSW Parliament later that month.

Preselection rules have been adopted by the Greens NSW to give all
candidates a fair chance to make their case to the membership, including
in relation to comments to the media. Candidates are asked that in their
interaction with journalists, “they may use the opportunity to confirm
their candidacy but they shall not overtly promote themselves in the
context of the preselection or pass any comment on any other candidate
or all other candidates collectively. If asked to do so they shall
decline to comment.”
