It was 184 votes, but she is trying to tell the ECQ that they counted incorrectly.  She will get a lot of money, though.

and if that is the rule, then so she should?

Of course, but one wonders whether her foot stamping is to gain another few hundred dollars, rather than to sit in parliament.

Her history suggests the former.

Great news for the people in QLD, chucking out those spoiled goods.  I gather the turnaround from a decimated party to taking power in the space of one electoral term is almost unprecedented. Good on 'em.

I think she actually believes that she had the votes to have the seat and doesn't trust the counting. I guess the voters thought she was worth having.......................... but I know some who were holding their breath!

Or a combination of both.  The money sure is an incentive.

It is the most surprising election that I can remember, is it too early to start an ALP Government of NSW thread?
