9:50pm – If you want to get a deeper sense of how the by-election panned out across Griffith, check out the results wrap blog post.
8:54pm – I’m going to stop posting updates now, with the last election-day booth reporting figures. The ALP currently is on a 0.3% positive swing, but I’m projecting a negative swing of around 1.1% once the special votes are added. I’m just working on a summary post which will be up in about an hour.
8:38pm – We now have results from all but one booth on the two-party-preferred figure. The ALP is projected to win by less than their current figures, but I don’t see a way that the ALP could lose.
8:16pm – We now have primary votes from all 40 regular booths. The LNP has gained only 0.3% of the vote, with the ALP down 1.1%, although the LNP is expected to jump and the ALP to drop each by about 1.1% when special votes are counted. The Greens’ vote has increased very slightly to 10.3%. The fourth-placed candidate is Melanie Thomas of the Pirate Party, ahead of Katter’s Australian Party on 1.5%.
8:02pm – My figures are ten minutes old, but tell a pretty clear story. At the moment the ALP is up, but is expected to suffer a very small swing once the results are final. The ALP vote has dropped slightly on the primary vote, with every other candidate gaining a small swing. The ALP is on track to win.
7:21pm – I’ve managed to get access to the AEC’s XML files so I’m grabbing the two-party booth results directly now. Labor still leading, now with a decent vote coming in.
7:05pm – Unfortunately the booth-by-booth figures I’m using are well behind those on the AEC website, but they show a similar trend of a swing to the LNP and away from the ALP, but the swing isn’t huge.
6:57pm – The ALP appears to be ahead on two-party-preferred after two booths, but I haven’t managed to get the figures directly.
6:53pm – We have three booths in so far, but they are all very small booths. The LNP is up substantially so far, and in two out of three booths the ALP’s vote has dropped.
6:46pm – So far we have two booths in Holland Park West and Murarrie. In Holland Park West, there was an 8% swing away from the ALP and 7% to the LNP. In Murarrie, the Greens vote is down 5.4%, and the ALP vote is up 5.8%, with the LNP mostly steady.
6:00pm – Welcome to the live results from the Griffith federal by-election. There are 40 regular booths in Griffith, and we will be covering the results over the next few hours.
AEC with 3 booths counted has Lib/Nat ahead 2PP. 51% to 49% ALP
Nice to see that the Pirate Party have more votes than the Family Farce Party
AEC now has Butler ahead 2PP. 51% to 49% Lib/Nat
Anthony Ackroyds impersonations of Kevin O7 has not got him the votes needed to win
What not Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party candidate this time !!
The Katter Party is not doing well.
Interesting that after the Lib/Nat, ALP and Greens the Pirate Party has the 4th most number of primary votes all be it just under 400 at the time of this post.
It’s an ALP win but with a reduced vote on last time
Only the LNP, ALP and Greens will get 4%+ of the primary vote and therefore will be able to get about $2.50 per vote from the taxpayer. This funding of candidates generally and this 4% discrimination rule is both a wrought and undemocratic. It is designed to assist the two major parties mostly and to discourage other candidates.
Well, I was wrong here, I expected a narrow Glasson win, not a narrow Butler one.
I disagree Adrian, there are a lot of candidates that run with no intention to win, purely to have their name on the ballot paper and I think that’s pushing the limits and not taking it seriously
