The federal election fulfils local expectations in the Northern Territory, with Labor retaining the seat of Solomon and on track to retain the second bush seat of Lingiari, but outgoing senator Nigel Scullion takes a swipe at bullshit polling and Labor's dud incumbents.

"Scott Morrison has run an incredible campaign as an individual, it's been faultless," he said.

He slammed"complete bullshit polling" and urged people to"perhaps pay less attention to it in future". "Sadly for the Territory, we've still got a couple of duds now who are going to be in opposition and doing the same they've done for the Territory in the past, which is not a great deal.""They got completely duped by the Shorten 'government' who actually already had the curtains hung in the Lodge, they'd already actually had the ministers selected," Mr Scullion said.

"But there is the other side of the coin, which is people are wanting a change, and I felt that everywhere I've gone.""I'm really pleased with the campaign which has been run by the Labor Party, a very positive campaign around policy, a commitment to change," he said.
