'Extraordinary achievement': ACT Labor wins seventh consecutive term in government
www.abc.net.au
ACT Labor has been returned to government after 23 years in power, while two independents will sit in the Legislative Assembly for the first time in more than two decades.

Estimated Assembly build up is
10 Labour
10 Libs
3 Greens
1 IFC (Thomas Emmerson, seems to be left leaning)
1 Ind (Fiona Carrick, Nimby)

I’m not happy that greens lost three seats, but at the end of the day Lab/Greens coalition one so I’m okay

    It’s not massively surprising that Greens would be replaced with independents. They had the smaller primary vote share afaik, and Thomas Emmerson having Pococks support probably makes a difference.

      Yes, it makes sense that they’d be the first to lose seats to another non-major candidate. Another possible factor is that the Greens lost protest vote value due to being known as part of the incumbent government - that’s going to attract less of the votes from people who want something different (but aren’t going to vote for the Libs).
