Jonny Ell<p>I'm reluctant to say this, but if the split of absentee votes continues at the same rate as those already counted, David Smith will win by about 250 votes. </p><p>If.</p><p><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Bean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bean</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Canberra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canberra</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/AusVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusVotes</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a></p>

Dim Simple<p>I do wonder what effect there will be in the general public from the two major parties colluding with each other against the Greens. I'm not saying the Greens would have fixed everything (or even anything), but when the Libs preference Labor over - and campaign against - a relatively minor party, to their own detriment, the message is clear. People have noticed, but will there be any consequences?</p><p><a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
