Not the result I wanted last night with Labor reclaiming Nightcliff in the by-election with a narrow win over the Greens. Current lead is 141 if my early morning maths is right

Just a couple of hundred postal votes to be counted if they all come in

Greens only held their first ever NT seat briefly but it was a breakthrough and shows they can win up there which is a positive

Congratulations to NT Labor on their win, back to 5 seats now after the wipe out at the last election, just the 1 in Darwin

p.s. for those who don't know, the sitting member Kat McNamara stepped down due to 'ongoing health challenges '. I wish Kat all the best
