Today was the Victorian State Election, and as expected it was a very tight race. There has been a huge swing against Labor and it looks like the Coalition will take control of the government, since they are only one seat away from the magic number of 45 in the Lower House. However, nearly 30% of people voted either by postal vote or at an early voting centre, and those votes won't be counted until Monday. As a result, it looks like we will wait and see how a few of these marginal seats fall.
Unfortunately the Greens did not do as well as expected, and Labor retained all of the four Melbourne inner city seats (partially a result of the Greens not getting Liberal preferences). One of the two Ministers for my Department lost her seat, and if the Coalition wins, we will have two new Education Ministers and some brand new policies to implement.
