Ep. 298: Election Recap - ACT, the NT, and WA

This week, Stephen Donnelly covers election results in the ACT, the NT, and Western Australia. First-time guest Louise Crossman is a Canberra based political strategist and former president of ACT Labor. She and Stephen discuss the ACT results, including the rise of independents and how Labor almost lost the seat of Bean. In the Northern Territory Ryan Neve explains how turnout for Labor in remote communities ensured big swings in Lingiari, and the impact a popular CLP Chief Minister had on the race in Solomon. Finally in Western Australia Priya Brown revisits her original predictions and wagers - Bullwinkel’s surprising swing to Labor did indeed signal a nationwide triumph for Labor - even if it hurt Priya in the pocket.
