@Qldaah the LIberal National party can not be trusted on anything. They back flip on every policy. They stand for nothing. #ausvotes #ACTVotes

Greens MLA Laura Nuttall wins fifth and final seat in Tuggeranong-based electorate of Brindabella https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-25/laura-nuttall-wins-final-seat-in-act-legislative-assembly/104501108 #ACTvotes #auspol

It’s hard to shake a first narrative (Greens “failure”). But as in previous post the story is more in the votes than the (fifth) seats. (Greens now looking likely to win 4 seats.)

We had government and community members work collaboratively to step into the gaps created by economic inequity and social isolation during COVID-19, making sure that families could put food on the table, our older people and those with health conditions and carers were less isolated, and making our community a kinder and more compassionate place.

Thanks Canberra. It’s been real. Hope to see you around in future.

🧵 This weekend saw the Democracy Reset Button pressed. And when we turned the Assembly off and back on again, I’m not part of it.

Over the course of my four years in the Legislative Assembly, I got to be part of some really important changes that only happened because we had six Greens MLAs.

#ACTPol this is the site to watch for analysis of changes to ACT election results: https://kevinbonham.blogspot.com/2024/10/act-2024-postcount.html?m=1 . Election was a bit of a nothingburger with only 2-3 seats changing hands and essentially zero evidence of the widespread rejection of the 23 year old Labour government that some had imagined. The Greens were the major casualties in seat numbers but there wasn't even a big vote swing against them; their seats were just the most marginal going into the election. #Canberra #ACTvotes

There’s an interesting Greens related swing story in the ACT election. The Independents for Canberra swing is mostly about Emerson in Kurrajong with about 10%. There were swings TO the Greens of about 2% in Ginninderra and Yerrabi.

So, light rail to #Tuggeranong (and beyond!) when?

If gets as close as Woden and stops I will be vexed.

I feel we've had enough elections where this was a central issue that we can stop talking and just build it now.

Craig's son is pretty on the ball.

It's great Canberra has a news robot #ACTVotes

Antony Green shit talking Pittwater on national TV is just *chef kiss* #ACTVotes

If US voters find a non-compulsary, first past the post system hard to fathom then #ACTVotes - with a compulsory multi member proportional representation system will blow their minds.

Oh god, I don't need a reminder of Craig Emerson #ACTVotes
