  1. Final ~
    12 ALP
    11 LIB
    2 GRN
    (Status Quo) Which is a rare distinction in any parliamentary system if it plays out

  2. I am keeping eye on Ohariu election as that is unpredictable one. It used to be a stronghold of United party which the sole mp retired last election. Labour won that with narrow margin with Jessica Hammond of The Opportunity Party came third.

    I reckon it is going to be a close race between Labour, National and TOP, which may enter parliament for first time, as TOP really put a lot of resources in that electorate.

  3. My predication on 26 September was:
    13 Labor seat turns Labor
    2 Greens
    10 Liberal
    Regardless how it falls it should be a Labor victory, at the end of the day it will be at least a majority left Government.
    My prediction today is:
    12 Labor
    3 Greens
    10 Liberal
    The change in seat will be Kurrijong and will be either Labor or Greens

  4. @Daniel earlier this year in the Brisbane City Council elections not a single seat changed hands.

    I think, out on a limb here,
    ALP – 12
    Lib – 8
    GRN – 5

    Greens do well enough to win an additional seat in all electorates but Yerrabi.

    In Ginninderra it would usually be at Labor’s expense, but I think Liberals will lose votes in Ginninderra to Belco party, who don’t do well enough to win their own, and whose votes will exhaust. The Ginninderra effect will see Labors 3 incumbents home over the 2nd Liberal.

    Intra party I think Taimus Werner Gibbings might knock off an incumbent in Brindabella but that’s probably it. Pentony might outpoll Burch in Kurrajong but I have the Liberals losing their 2nd seat (to Greens but Labor is a possibility).

  5. Just wait Daniel and Anton we should know the results in 12 hours time for this provincial territory election.
