FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Labor is hoping to win an historic fourth consecutive term when the votes are in from Saturday’s poll.
Chief Minister Katy Gallagher said she felt her party had done everything it could to sell its message.
“I don’t stand here wishing I did something different or `should I’ or `could I’,” she told reporters outside a polling booth in the central electorate of Molonglo.
“Here in the ACT we’ve got a very educated community but it’s not a safe Labor town.”
However, she didn’t think there was a swing on against Labor, unlike the previous election in 2008 when Labor lost two seats.
Labor held seven seats in the parliament, governing with the support of the four Greens. The Liberals held six seats.
A Canberra Times-Patterson poll published this week predicted this election would return the same result.
But Liberals leader Zed Seselja was feeling positive when he voted early on Saturday.
“I’m not going to predict the result but I would suggest that some of the predictions that others have made will be proven wrong,” he told reporters as he cast his vote in the Brindabella electorate.
“I think we can win.”
He said voters had been presented with a clear choice between the offerings of his party and those of Labor and the Greens.
“We don’t believe they deserve 15 years,” he said.
“We believe that 15 years of Labor would be disastrous for this city.”
Greens leader Meredith Hunter believed her party had run “a solid campaign” that built on four years of ensuring stable government.
At the previous election, the Greens voted nearly doubled in some areas and she was confident it would hold up this time.
“What we want to do now is consolidate our vote and we are quite optimistic that people will see the hard work we’ve put in and we’ll have our four members returned,” Ms Hunter told reporters in the seat of Ginninderra.
The Greens would wait to see what the final results showed before beginning negotiations with either Labor or Liberals, if they again hold the balance of power.
The ACT’s complex Hare-Clark electoral system means the final results in each seat may not be known for several days.
Polls close at 6pm (AEDT).
