The elevation of Richard Di Natale to Greens leader and voter dissatisfaction with the major parties has seen the Greens primary vote surge, according to the latest Fairfax/Ipsos poll.

The latest poll has seen the Greens vote increase from 14 per cent last month to 16 per cent. In Victoria the party has moved to 20 per cent of the primary vote, with a sample size that is 355 of a total 1400 voters polled nationally.

With Adam Bandt's seat of Melbourne increasingly becoming more difficult for the ALP to seize back due to changing demographics, the Greens are turning their attention to other lower house seats in Victoria.

Strategists have identified Wills and Batman, which also are part of Melbourne's trendy inner northern suburbs, as target seats to steal from Labor at the next election.
