The [[Division of Kooyong]] in inner east [[Melbourne]] has traditionally been a "safe" [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]] seat. It is now classified as "fairly safe Liberal" as voters move to the Greens and the [[Australian Labor Party]].
Kooyong received the 11th highest Green primary vote in Australia, demonstrating that the Green’s effectiveness in bringing to the forefront key issues such as Tasmanian forests, funding for public education, services before tax cuts and humane treatment of asylum seekers. These issues struck a chord with voters in Kooyong.

It is now moving towards marginal status as voters move to the Greens and the [[ALP|Australian Labor Party]]. In a twist on the 'Doctors Wives' syndrome the partners of 2004 Greens Senate candidate [[David Risstrom]] and 2004 Greens Kooyong candidate Peter Campbell were both female doctors.
