So, for me there was a few winners in Chifley Federal Election on 2nd July 2016. Obviously, the major winner was re-elected member Ed Husic has picked up a swing of 8.43% , total votes of 44,013 on a two party preferred against Liberal party candidate, Mohit Kumar.
Not counting absent, provisional, Pre Poll and postal voting being counted, he has done pretty well. On Primary votes, Liberals had a 9.10% against them. The small winners were Joshua Green, Christian Democrats increase swing of 5.53%, The Greens 1.62% swing towards them and independent Ammar Khan 0.46% from last election.
The big winner, not talked about was that formal votes had increased by 5.42%, reducing Informal by the same Margin, with 69,932 of the votes counted so far that means that means 3,790 more votes were not counted as formal. That is an astonishing result for Chifley, when I have been advocating for informal votes to be made into formal votes.
As for the State of the Country politically, there are challenges from minor parties and independents to make it harder for any government to govern.
