    Marrickville was The Greens big hope but it looks like Labor will hang on - only needed 7.5% swing and they probably haven't got it.

    You learn something every day - do we all know that it's official Green's policy to boycott Israel?

    The Greens candidate is Mayor of Marrickville.

    Marrickville Council has banned commercial, cultural and sporting contacts with Israel.

    Labor has attacked Ms Byrne, saying she lied and contradicted herself over whether the Greens would push for a state-wide boycott.

    "I have no plan or intention to bring the BDS to State Parliament," Ms Byrne said.

    But when asked on radio last month if she would introduce her BDS bill into Parliament, Fiona Byrne said:

    "I would suggest that the New South Wales Greens would be looking to bring that forward."

    Her original statement is not surprising.

    Boycotting Israel is official Greens policy.
