As for BJ's comments, he should consider the following:
Up to close of counting, 64.5% of the vote had been counted (ie: ~70,000 votes). The total electorate is ~110,000 votes (~1.5x the size of an average Federal electorate).
The NT had 25 Assembly electorates, with an average size of 4,400. Many council wards in the metro area are of a greater size than this.
The votes cast were: Labor Party 25 +12.1 36,706 52.7 Country Liberal 25 -10.2 24,480 35.2 Independents 12 -3.0 5,235 7.5 Greens 11 +3.9 2,706 3.9 Network Against Prohibition 5 +0.5 319 0.5 Australian Democrats 2 -0.6 152 0.2 Others 0 +0.0 0.0 One Nation 0 -1.3 0.0 Territory Alliance 0 -0.8 0.0 Socialist Alliance 0 -0.5 0.0
