Election Results
Apologies for no live-blog last night, I was busy carrying out uncle duties. But apparently the un-losable election for the Coalition was, in the end, lost by the Coalition, with Premier Pete and his team being voted back in for a historical third term. (Historical for the Labor party, PP is now the longest serving Labor Premier in the history of the party)...So the final breakdown, keeping in mind 89 seats were up for grabs....
Australian Labor Party 60
Liberal Party 9
The Nationals 16
One Nation 1
Other Candidates 3

All in all the result was what many suspected, although I had my concerns after a number of commentators proclaimed "Cyborg" the winner of the debate on Friday... I still disagree...
That concludes state election coverage from this misguided one, more depressing international news from tomorrow!
