The upcoming 2027 State Election presents an exciting opportunity for the Greens NSW, and we need your input in the preselection process to choose our candidates for the Upper House ballot. 

Our movement has been growing steadily in NSW, and the Greens NSW are well placed for a strong result at the State Election in March 2027, particularly in the Upper House. 

The Meet the Candidates forum has been designed to provide members with the opportunity to get to know different candidates and make decisions about who to vote for. The format is intended to test a variety of skills required of MPs, including public speaking, as well as political and policy judgement.  

The candidates are listed below, and their candidate statements are available on the Preselection Webpage

The forum will be held via Zoom at 11AM on Sunday 15 March 2026. 

Candidates will speak in the following randomly allocated order: 

* Unfortunately Takesa Frank will not be able to join the forum.

The forum will be recorded, with videos will be available to view on the preselection webpage by Tuesday 17 March. 

Each candidate will be allocated 15 minutes. They will deliver a prepared speech for up to five minutes, followed by a Q&A for up to nine minutes.   

A set of questions will be provided to the candidates in advance. Each candidate will be asked at least 3 questions from this set.  

We are also seeking questions from members for the Candidate Q&A. Questions may be submitted by email in advance, or during the forum using the Zoom Q&A function. Note that these questions will be moderated, and there will not be time for all submitted questions to be asked.   

Please email any question suggestions to upperhousepreselection.returningofficer@nsw.greens.org.au   

If you are under 18, your parent or guardian will need to contact the event organiser directly to let them know there will be someone under 18 attending.
