So we're looking at 7 Labor; 7 Libs; and 3 Greens.
An interesting wash-up from yesterday.
Will the Greens (as predicted) side with Stanhope or will Zed convince them to jump on board? Either way, an evenly balanced assembly is a good result for Canberra.
Good result - as long as we don't end up with Zed.
I almost shuddered when i saw Pratt and Smyth's names on the ballot paper.
Can anyone bear the thought of the Greens holding the balance of power - let alone the chance that they might get a ministry! - or is it just me?
I can see Lab/Lib ganging up on the Greens on some issues that's assured...
I would think the Greens would be quite active in increasing the funding of public transport. Let us wait and see.

True - it is one of their priorities supposably.
