QLD:Coalition hits back in seat of Brisbane
The Liberal National Party's TERESA GAMBARO is moving closer to successfully wrestling
the seat of Brisbane off long-time Labor incumbent ARCH BEVIS.
While counting is continuing in the undecided seat .. the Australian Electoral Commission's
official tally website has moved the seat off its close-list after Ms GAMBARO almost doubled
her lead of 382 votes to 743.
With just over 12-thousand postal .. early .. absentee and provisional votes still
to be counted .. Mr BEVIS has not yet lost the seat .. however he will need the votes
to quickly swing back his way.
Ms GAMBARO .. meanwhile .. has told the Ten Network the vote increase is relieving
after the past three days had seen her slowly lose her lead.
