Uranium no vote-puller

The issue of uranium mining failed to sway the Mount Isa electorate, with Labor MP Betty Kiernan easily winning a second term.

Ms Kiernan, 53, won her seat despite a full-blooded effort by the LNP to gain support in the electorate through a push for uranium mining.

Late last night with 63% of the vote counted, Labor had 52% of the vote. Ms Kiernan said she was delighted to have won again. 'I feel absolutely fantastic. I am also delighted to be part of the Labor Government led by the first elected female premier, Anna Bligh.'
