Yes, good news and simply a remarkable result.

From 9 (or more accurately 7) seats to 44 or 45. Historical.

it's a sign of the times really isn't it.

I hope for Queenslanders that the final result is out soon

According to the link - seats in doubt 3, LNP is ahead on all 3, so it may be 42 LNP and 44 Lab - or am I reading it wrongly?

Ferny Grove ? Have they decided about that yet?

Are you sure?

I haven't been offended since about 1964 , it would be like a new experience and i don't get many of those these days.

It's been very slow since last week, I think it's because the last votes (mostly postal I think) are dribbling in

No different from any other state or federal election. Final results of every seat always take weeks.

Cobb & Co. are delivering the last postal votes today.

that's what I can never figure out - on the night - they come out and say such-and-such has lost his seat - and only 30% of the vote is counted - so how can they say that? I mean, how do they know who the next 70% of votes are going to be for?

I don't know how they work out their predictions either, but Antony Green, is usually spot on with his

It has been only 7 working days, and postal votes need to arrive from overseas and recounts for close seats, before they can be declared.

There might have to be a by-election as well.

Only 7 days polks? It feels like ages ago doesn't it.

What's that saying ?

24 hours is a long time in politics 😀

There is a cut off time for postals to arrive and be counted. Tomorrow at 6pm is the cut off I think. From a distance it looks like the LNP are not wanting to concede. They seem to be following the line that they should retain govt in case they there is a by election and they win.

I think they work on the trend in votes and preferences as well as other factors such as how safe (or not) the seat is and swing.

The ECQ has only declared 35 seats so far:

Australian Labor Party 19

Katter's Australian Party 1

LNP 14

Other Candidates 1
