Mainland Australia is all RED

Labor's stranglehold across mainland Australia is complete, with Tasmania the sole state to be led by a Liberal government.

Chris Minns has become the 47th Premier of the state of NSW and is on track to lead a majority Labor government however, as we went to press, there were still some electorates in doubt People questioned the tedious process that left several seats in limbo four days after the election

In his victory speech, the premier-elect declared that his party is "back and ready to govern” We will not let the people of this state down," Mr Minns said.

“We will govern for everyone in NSW We know that the challenges are huge, we know that the responsibilities are awesome, but NSW Labor is back and ready to govern in this great state ” Mr Minns also thanked outgoing Liberal Premier Dominic Perrottet for his service

“It’s undeniably the case that this election campaign was, perhaps uniquely, a model of respect and civility Neither party took the low road, neither political party took the low blow,” he said

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was at the forefront of election-day campaigning across Sydney and welcomed Mr Minns to the victory stage at a Sydney party function
