Still a bit of a nail-biter in my electorate.
Edit: the greens candidate is only a few hundred votes ahead of the alp candidate, who has held the seat for a while now (has been a safe labour seat for decades except when Phil Cleary won it in the 90s. I wanted the green woman to win and shake it up a bit). Can't believe how many people voted for the liberal candidate when he doesn't even live anywhere near the electorate and had to pay a fine for fraud or something last year. Happy for the overall result though, and actually relieved! I was worried more people would secretly support Maga type policies and vote accordingly.
Keen to see how Casey and Flinders fall too. But I'm really hoping the Greens could squeeze through in Wills, not a good election for the Greens overall. Shame about Gen Z hero MCM in Brisbane but I'd have been surprised if he stayed past one term...
Same in Wills. Will it be good ol' Labor Peter Khalil, or the Green Samantha Ratnam? I'm curious because Peter has been in for aaages
That's where I am ๐ A shakeup would've been nice but I'm not complaining overall.
