The final vote counts for the Legislative Assembly are filing in, and as Labor emerged as NSW’s victors, several key battles occurred within Sydney’s city limits. All parties managed to retain their seats this election in the electorates of Sydney, Vaucluse, Heffron, Maroubra, Newtown, Balmain and Coogee.
However, changes can be seen in the results so far, which reveal emergent patterns sure to stir up in future elections.
While on Tuesday morning, it remains unclear whether Labor will form a majority government, Labor’s win was clear against the LNP. But ABC’s election whiz Antony Green predicting majority government on Saturday night (March 25) was proofed to be short lived .
Majority government for Chris Minns and Labor may end up being as tight an affair as Neville Wran in 1976 waiting two weeks for Hurstville to be decided, and Bob Carr in 1995 waiting on Badgerys Creek and Gladesville. #nswvotes #nswpol
