The Greens won the primary vote in Maleny oddly. Why did the Greens do so well in Maleny? I remember visiting it years and years ago on a day trip, It definitely was a retiree haven. Allot of retired individuals who moved from Brisbane.
Maleny is a hippie town that has a strong alternative culture.
Maleny has a large hippy population and I believe a hippy commune nearby, and has always had a history of anti-vaccine and anti-establishment sentiment. I believe several years ago there was community uproar over a decision to bring a Woolies to the suburb to replace a local farmers market. Not to mention that retirees from Brisbane who flock here aren’t typical boomers but rather environmentally friendly, financially comfortable “granola” progressives.
There’s a Group called “Voices for Fisher” trying to find an independent much like what Fairfax Matters and McPherson Independents are doing
@caleb won’t happen different times and this is not like the North shore or se Melbourne wealthy suburbs
I think they could do well around Noosa in Fairfax like how they did well around Coffs in Cowper but not in the other areas so this won’t be a teal seat nor will Cowper or Fairfax.
@Nether Portal Isn’t Noosa in Wide Bay though?
@Scart oh wait yes it is sorry but it will be in Fairfax next redistribution. A teal wouldn’t ever win Wide Bay either.
Fisher contains
1. 100% of Caloundra
2. 100% of Kawana
3. 20% of Buderim
4. 58% of Glass House

@Nimalan thanks, will calculate now.
State TPP here in 2024:
* LNP: 56.4%
* Labor: 43.6%
Labor did 2.3% better here on the state level in 2024 than on the federal level in 2022. Much of this can be attributed to the LNP’s underperformance in the seat of Caloundra.
Overall having now analysed both Sunshine Coast seats (Fairfax and Fisher) it’s clear that while Labor are performing better on the state level in the Sunshine Coast, the gap is much smaller than the gap in Moreton Bay.
