And so it begins: the end of the Phillip Pool as we know it. Thanks for nothing, Andrew Barr. You won't hear the end of it from #FionaCarrickIndependent, now she's in the Assembly. #ACTpol #Murrumbidgee (paywalled)

#FionaCarrickIndependent at the Assembly, being smoked in with all the other MLAs.

Off to the ACT Assembly swearing in and election of Chief Minister. 🥳🎉🥂 #FionaCarrickIndependent #ACTpol

Next exciting developments with #FionaCarrickIndependent: the formalities tomorrow, ie swearing in and election of chief minister. Decisions, decisions! I'll be there to witness the excitement at 9.30am.

Catching up with an old hellsite friend this arvo; she now lives just down the road, and is a professional photographer with good politics. I co-opted her early in the year to take #FionaCarrickIndependent's official pic for her campaign, and when they met up it turned out their mothers both knew each other, lol, so very Canberra. Anyhoo, Fiona is joining us to celebrate our win. I'm still pinching myself. 🎉🥳🥂

My good mate who is a local community stalwart has just been told the Woden Town Square no longer supplies an electricity outlet for functions in that location. Srsly?! She is at the end of her tether, trying to organise a community carols thing for Christmas. Classic example of the sort of shit we have to put up with from this stupid govt. Thank Dawkins we have #FionaCarrickIndependent on their case.now. In the meantime: plan B is a generator, aaaarrghhh.... madness!

Must get going, things to do, but #FionaCarrickIndependent is on day 1 of MLA school today and is posting pics (to The Vollies*) of her in the chamber doing stuff. Shit's gettin' real and my eyes are leaking... 🧡

#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

Today is Declaration of the Polls day! We will gather at the ACT Assembly at 11am to celebrate #FionaCarrickIndependent's win. 🎉🥳🥂 #ACTvotes

We did a final thank you banner on Cotter Rd this morning, then went for coffee at 80/20 at Coombs in our orange Tshirts. Three ppl came up to Fiona while we were coffeeing, to say 1. they'd voted for her, 2. congrats, and 3. how about the playground problem here? Democracy in action. #FionaCarrickIndependent
