Briggs is gone
Others to watch:
-Greens likely to unseat David "oops forgot about my $2 million house" Feeney
-Windsor vs Joyce in New England - too close to call
-Rob Oakshott an outside chance to snatch Cowper off the Nats
- Baby Wyatt Roy will struggle to hold Longman
And perhaps most ominously for the coalition - that famous 'bellwether' seat Eden Monaro has Labor's Mike Kelly well on track to regain the seat he lost in 2013.
I still think 21 seats is beyond Labor - which is what they need to get outright majority. Most likely scenario is a return of the government either with or without a majority. But even if they scrape through with say 3, 4 or 5 seat majority - that could spell chaos for the coalition. How many competing factions will there be suddenly standing up to assert themselves - in the knowledge that they potentially hold the balance of power? The Nats themselves, who will probably get between 7-9 seats will almost certainly hold the balance of power - are they finally going to grow a pair and throw their weight around in relation to things like coal-seam gas and coal mines in the middle of prime farming land?
