By-election is 'huge momentum,' says Polanski

Green Party leader Zack Polanski told Sky's Mornings With Jones and Melbourne that he is "disappointed" to have lost the contest "because no one wants to lose them".

But he went on to say that the Green Party "tripled our vote share", and noted that it was the second-best by-election results in their history.

"Of course I wanted to win it. We didn't win it, we didn't do enough. But it's still - it's huge momentum," he added.
