    Not a surprise that Greens retain Maiwar, but it is a bit of a surprise just how strongly they’re holding it.

    Greens losing South Brisbane is a big surprise, given how strongly they hold Gabba Ward and that they won Griffith. I guess Amy MacMahon may have benefited more from Jackie Trad’s corruption than we thought.

    I honestly thought LNP’s Fiona Hammond would have had a serious chance of winning Stafford on the back of her personal brand as a long-time Councillor. But Labor holds it comfortably.

        Yeah I saw that last night. Looks like they’re back to calling it for Greens again.

        But certainly, it takes it back into the realm that I was initially expecting, that Greens would win the seat but more narrowly. I was misled by how overwhelming the Greens win was in the booth I worked at plus how early in the night the ABC had called the seat for the Greens into assuming it was quite an overwhelming victory.
