Australian Territory Elections, 2016

So how many seats do the CLP win?

What's the highest TPP result in an Australian election?  I have a feeling that record might be shattered next month...

I know that the NT election is optional preferences so a TPP figure is less accurate, but its still nice to have and I'm pretty sure that its in the right ballpark usually.  Might OPV actually end up helping Labor in this election?  It certainly won't hurt them quite as much in other areas (the Greens haven't done as well here in the past and those are the preferences that exhaust in other optional preferential areas), and it wouldn't surprise me if there are a fair few normally conservative people who would normally preference the CLP (or even give them their first preferences) who simply don't bother this time and let their vote exhaust rather than flow to the CLP...

QLD 2015 was 62.8%, NSW 2011 was 64.2%

Ugh, why is counting taking so long, and going so slowly?

Lot of remote communities which don't have proper booths, so their votes need to be taken to a central location.

I think anyway.
