#FionaCarrickIndependent elected to the 11th ACT Assembly! Andrew Barr didn't bother to show, neither did most of the Labor MLAs (what does that tell you?). Elizabeth Lee showed up with little Ava and a few Libs, and was very welcoming; Rattenbury there too, with Nuttal. #ACTvotes

#Murrumbidgee preference counting continues, with Cocks on 4023 and Singh on 4016. Bonkers! Everything crossed for Amardeep. #ACTvotes

We had government and community members work collaboratively to step into the gaps created by economic inequity and social isolation during COVID-19, making sure that families could put food on the table, our older people and those with health conditions and carers were less isolated, and making our community a kinder and more compassionate place.
Thanks Canberra. It’s been real. Hope to see you around in future.
This weekend saw the Democracy Reset Button pressed. And when we turned the Assembly off and back on again, I’m not part of it.
Over the course of my four years in the Legislative Assembly, I got to be part of some really important changes that only happened because we had six Greens MLAs.

Further to this story …
To give credit where it is due, Ms Lee gave a gracious and eloquent #ConcessionSpeech tonight: one of the finest I have seen in three decades of watching politics and one in the finest traditions of #LiberalDemocracy. She should be applauded.
The #CanberraLiberals would be wise to keep her as their #Leader.
Oh what a dickhead Adam Shirley is. He refused to give #FionaCarrick airtime throughout the campaign, and is now asking Chris Steel why independents weren't factored into the campaign. FMD. #ACTvotes
Craig's son is pretty on the ball.
Better than Craig.
And no singing
@treleanor Berry door knocked here. As did Cain. #actvotes
Preparing for the final onslaught in #ACTvotes. Have lunched and rested and am heading back to the booth shortly for the closing shift. This will be followed by an hour of scrutineering, which will then be followed by the after party with Antony Green. #FionaCarrickIndependent 
There's a young HYDRATION nazi on this booth, forcing water and coffee at her team, and every second word is HYDRATE. It's 17 degrees. Honestly, how does she ever get anything done? #ACTvotes
On a polling booth in the newish subdivision of Molonglo. Tough crowd: young, disinterested, some even rude. Don't think we'll do well here. Looking forward to getting in there and voting for #FionaCarrickIndependent when the next shift arrives. #ACTvotes
Election eve. A day of bad weather and 12 hours of pre-poll. Challenging. I'm a booth captain tomorrow so need to prepare for that today, and there'll probably be a bit of scrutineering after polls close tomorrow evening. Nearly there! #FionaCarrickIndependent #ACTvotes
Me thinking about the #ACT #election: the “it’s time factor” alone will probably swing the #Barr #Labor #government out of power, but it’s okay, our #Liberals are sensible centrists and at least we don’t have that #insane #extremist faction in our politics (like in the States) that attacks the #media
The Leader of the ACT #Liberal Party:
Flipping out: ACT Liberal leader apologises for giving journalist middle finger on eve of election
I might be a nodding head tonight on channel 9 news with #FionaCarrick and the team. #ACTvotes
Off for our last banner of the campaign: Yarra Glen. #FionaCarrickIndependent #ACTvotes
Tough crowd in Molonglo this morning, we'll have to pick up votes elsewhere to compensate. Second last banner of the campaign! I reckon we've done about 30 so far. #FionaCarrickIndependent #ACTvotes
Prepoll pretty dull today. Andrew Barr arrived and stayed far too long, put me right off my lunch... he must be worried, Woden is right out of his comfort zone. No eye contact either, lol. #ACTvotes
Another 4 hours on pre-poll done. Lots of Liberal-only HTV punters, but also an encouraging number of ppl seeking out #FionaCarrick HTVs.
