Just coming back to this, this was the result of that question. This was pretty much what I would have expected.

If Laura actually manages to hold her seat, the Greens should be very proud of themselves.

It is so close though, but it is looking like she might actually win the 5th seat. Still a bit of counting to go.

Labor says Canberra voted for light rail? Well then there is no excuse for lack of ambition.

Full steam ahead, Labor needs to get it to Canberrans who are eagerly waiting, and fully involve them in the process.

Not complaining, just an observation. Has anyone else noticed there seems to be quite a bit of line work completed recently on Canberra roads?

I thought it was just some roads in Fyshwick, but I'm noticing it in the city as well.

Timing is just interesting.

I guess I should get out and vote soon. Will be heading to Lyneham Primary to vote and also help support the P&C.

"A lot more townhouses, row houses, low rise apartments so that people can live in areas near where they work, near where there's shops and other services," - Shane Rattenbury

Canberra Liberals and rusted on liberal voters appear to be having an absolute tantrum this morning over Jasper Lindell's analysis that was published in the Canberra Times this morning.

Elizabeth's response is such a weird one. Like at the end of the day, she accepted a friend request from the account. She did so on her personal account. Not her political profile, but her personal one.

Some absolute regular moron in the comments on the CT article about Kowen is seriously suggesting that the libs would extend LR to Kowen. There is absolutely zero chances of this ever happening.

So I have informed my coworker (mid to late 20's) about the Canebrra Liberals' Kowen Forrest plan. I asked her if she would consider living out there. Her response was "fuck no".

#actelection observation here.
The comments section on Canberra Times articles have a lot of people posting "IT'S TIME" and "IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE". This is referencing 20 years of Labor Government.

The same comments were being posted in the last election, and the election before that.
