I haven't seen much reporting on this.

No one is surprised Labor have the Assembly, but that's all the media seem to be reporting on.

I mean, this is really the second major story of the election. And the proof is in the vote difference between the Nationals and Greens.

The Greens have about twice the number of votes as the Nationals, and have for a while, but have until now been less represented due what amounted to a rural/pastoral gerrymander.

Its really good to see the Upper House start resembling the shares of votes these Partys recieve, whoever they are.

Labor, for their reasons as well, did the right thing here.
