Following the final count of the SA Senate vote by the AEC today, Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has been returned to the Senate with the largest swing to the Greens across the country.
\n\u201cI want to thank South Australian voters for their overwhelming support this election. South Australians have put their faith in me to stand up and protect our state\u2019s jobs and environment. I will work bloody hard to make sure our state is not undermined by the anti-renewables, water-greedy agenda of the eastern states,\u201d Senator Hanson-Young said.
\n\u201cProtecting the environment and making sure there is a safe and healthy planet for our children and grandchildren is my priority. \u00a0South Australians love our beaches and ocean and together we will protect the Great Australian Bight from the exploitation of big oil.
\n\u201cI will stand up to the Government to ensure they don\u2019t drag our progressive state backward. I will fight to protect our renewable energy industry and the thousands of jobs in tourism and fishing at risk if drilling in the Bight goes ahead.
\n\u201cSouth Australians voted for me to represent them and I will not take my foot off the pedal. In the first week back, I will be introducing a Bill to ban drilling in the Great Australian Bight. I invite my fellow South Australians MPs work together to protect the Bight by adding their names to the Bill.
\n\u201cI will not let this Government wind back the progress our state has made. In the Senate, I\u2019ll work my hardest to keep our state on-track and stand up for all South Australians.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
