Election analyst predicts ‘substantial defeat’ for Labor and solid majority for Lia Finocchiaro’s party
“It looks like a substantial defeat and it looks like the CLP will win with a majority and may be a substantial majority,” Green told ABC Television.The former chief minister and Labor MP Natasha Fyles said that, while disappointing, politicians always prepared themselves for such an eventuality.
More than 85,000 Territorians cast their vote before Saturday, and booths slowed to a trickle in the afternoon swelter on election day. The NT chief minister, Eva Lawler, had earlier expressed some nerves about her marginal seat of Drysdale but also suggested the slow polling was an indication of a change in voter behaviours.
Ms Finocchiaro said a lot people had “kept their cards close to the chest”. “A lot of people early voted, so we’re seeing smaller numbers come through, but people seem very determined, and we’re really hoping, right up until 6pm that people see how important it is to ... vote.”
