Congratulations to Antony Green, awarded the 2026 Inner West Citizen of the Year. Antony is Australia's most trusted election night analyst and a proud Inner Westie for decades. This award recognises a lifetime of extraordinary contribution to civic education and democratic participation. Across more than 100 elections, Antony's calm, unbiased and incisive analysis has helped generations of Australians — and Inner West residents in particular — understand and trust our democratic processes. His trademark cheeky grin and gift for cutting through complexity have made him a genuinely beloved national institution. Beyond his celebrated on-air work with the ABC, Antony designed the ABC's election night computer system and created tools including the predictive pendulum, Vote Compass and Senate calculators — now staples of Australian democratic life. Since 2015, he has educated hundreds of Inner West students as Adjunct Professor at the University of Sydney's Department of Government and International Relations. A keen cyclist with the Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club since 2010, Antony is as much a part of this community as he is of our democracy. On behalf of all Inner Westies, thank you and congratulations Antony — this recognition is richly deserved.
