| Dear Friend —
We did it!
Today the Victorian Electoral Commission confirmed that our Southern Metropolitan Upper House candidate Clifford Hayes was elected to the Victorian Parliament.

Clifford and I enjoyed a quiet celebration today in Brighton…
I offered my personal congratulations and thanks to Clifford, who first stood for the party as a Senate candidate in the 2013 federal election. Five years later he’s proud to be our first elected Member of Parliament!
You may wish to leave a message of congratulations here on Facebook.
It was a huge team effort. Thank you to everyone involved – including our National and Victorian committees, 27 Victorian candidates and many members and volunteers! There have also been many people right across Australia that have helped (and stuck by) us over the years on this challenging journey. I hope this gives you great satisfaction and new hope.
Next stop is the NSW State election in March…
We now need our NSW members and supporters to help us to double up! If you live in NSW, stay tuned for information on how you can get involved.
Onward and upward!
Kind regards
William
William Bourke
Federal President |
