Howard's Chief Fails In Senate Seat (Likely) (Read 595 times)

True Colours Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 2837 Gender:	Howard's Chief Fails In Senate Seat (Likely) Sep 8^th, 2013 at 12:09am With nearly 2/3 of the votes counted in NSW it looks like the Liberals might not pick up a 3rd seat there. That mean Howard's former chief of staff, Arthur Sinodinos, wouldn't be elected.

I doubt that Hanson will be elected. There are only two spots that are open after the first four are likely to go to the Coalition and Labor. The Liberal Democrats have almost clinched the fifth seat. That leaves one seat for Sinodinos and the rest to fight over.

How would Hanson get along with Abbott anyway? Wasn't it Abbott who put her in prison?

The permutations are interesting. Preferences flowing this way and that way. The final makeup will be interesting. If Hanson gets up she will have the last laugh because the Lib-NP and ALP tried to thwart her attempts to enter parliament. She may cost those parties a seat. Time will tell.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
