Darren Churchill: Australian Democrats Campaigns

Many thanks to the people of the AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY who voted for me and to those who wished me well.

Many thanks also to my supporters and helpers, both members of the Australian Democrats and others.

We held our ground from the last election,  winning roughly the same percentage of the vote.  And that’s not easy to do when much of the media and most forum organisers have largely decided that the focus will only be on the three big parties.

Our result was the  best Senate vote for an Australian Democrats team,  in this election.  I finished fourth out of nine on first preferences.

We fought a good campaign but lacked much media interest until the final week.   But getting attention in the final week is rare for the Australian Democrats,  so that was an achievement in itself.

I thank the Australian Democrats for allowing me the honour of representing them at the highest level of candidacy.

And to everyone, thanks again for your effort and support and the faith of those who voted for me.
