Libs retain power, but it's still unclear whether it's as a majority or minority government.

Mark Latham has won a seat in the Legislative Council with One Nation.

The ABC showed that rubbish instead of the footy. The interest in a NSW electio is zero here as the Thai election is today your time and all the bars are shut.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Can’t say I’m overly disappointed. I wanted Labor to win, and Daley seemed like a big improvement on Foley, but NSW Labor suck and NSW Libs seem more tolerable than their counterparts in most other states.

Only truly bad thing is if the Federal gov take any confidence from this. I do badly want them to suffer eternally.

I was up in Toc for the weekend, which is in the electorate of Murray. The Nationals have had a mortgage on that seat forever, this year the Libs and Labor didn't even field a candidate, The Greens got a total of 804 votes (2.36%) and the Shooters, fishers and farmers party romped home with 40% of the primary vote to the Nats 35% (55 to 45 tpp)

It probably works out to be the candidate, their campaign team and all their extended families.

Well, still, it's 804 people who can read and write that we might not have expected to find there.

Oi, I come from there.

Mind you, so did Shane Crawford and Bill Brownless so you may actually have a point. :oops:

Dunno why they're surprised. Murray is a rural electorate, no cities, a few largish towns, very focused on local issues including the environment which is why they aren't going to give any attention to inner city lefties and won't tolerate being taken for granted by the Nats.

Practical pragmatic people, just don't expect a tumeric latte or a vegan brunch to be highly available.

Also of note, Ex Federal Labor leader Mark latham seems to have got himself an upper house seat as a One nation candidate.

Hope he has fun hanging out with Fred Nile up there. Feel bad for NSW types, but at least he shouldn’t be bothering the rest of Australia too much for the next few years.
