Today's Marketmetrics Research opinion poll showing the Greens' vote in Bass has doubled to 18 per cent, indicates votes draining from both Labor and the Coalition to the Greens as the unpopularity of the Gunns' pulp mill proposal bites, Greens leader Bob Brown said today.
 
The poll also shows a jump in the Greens' vote to 9 per cent in Braddon.
 
"The pulp mill issue will bite the old parties all the way to the ballot box.  Labor and the Coalition have ignored traditional supporters to curry favour with Gunns.  The poll indicates that either party will win Bass if they heed public opinion and reject Gunns' proposal," Senator Brown said.
