  • 5%

  • 10%

  • 20%

  • 13.1%

Answer

The Greens under Brown's leadership gained 13.1% of the primary vote in 2010, which was their highest ever vote share. This was due in part to the unpopularity of the Labor government at the time, which was facing a number of scandals and controversies. The Greens also benefited from the fact that they were seen as a more progressive and environmentally friendly alternative to Labor.
