Northcote byelection: Greens claim historic victory, taking seat from Labor after 90 years
The Greens have claimed victory in the Northcote byelection taking the seat from Labor for the first time since it was created 90 years ago.
Lidia Thorpe will now make history as the first Indigenous woman elected to the Victorian Parliament.
The Greens will hold three lower house seats in Victoria, extending their reach in Melbourne's inner suburbs.
The party's volunteers and staff members danced, embraced and cheered at the Thornbury after-party as the results rolled in.
