The Northern Territory has bucked the national election trend, re-electing it's two incumbent Labor House of Representive members. 9News

The Northern Territory has bucked the national election trend, re-electing it's two incumbent Labor House of Representive members.

The margin in the urban seat of Solomon - which covers Darwin and satellite city, Palmerston - was cut to 2.6 per cent, with Labor's Luke Gosling claiming victory on Saturday night, over Country Liberal Party Candidate Kathy Ganley. While it took until this morning for Labor veteran, Warren Snowdon - who has been Member for Lingiari since 2001, but in Federal Parliament for more than 30 years - to claim victory in Lingiari over the CLP's Jacinta Price.

Despite a national victory for the Coalition, the Northern Territory has bucked the country's trend by re-electing two incumbent Labor MPs. "We're 6021 votes ahead, we've got over 56 per cent of the vote, there aren't enough votes to change that outcome substantially." With the re-election of a Coalition Government, it means there is just one of the four NT federal representatives in the coalition.Related Articles

NT Labor optimistic of 2020 re-election after federal election resultsIf the federal election result in the NT was supposed to be a referendum on Territory Labor, Chief Minister Michael Gunner will be feeling relieved, after the Country Liberals failed to snatch either of the NT's two Lower House seats. Don’t get excited. It’s Centrelink Central so will always vote for socialism. What do the polls say? :-) No sorry 😐

If Bill Shorten was elected Australia would have been kicked out of FiveEye and soon would have descended into political and security chaos. Thank your lucky star!

Federal Election 2019: Scott Morrison warns Australians against Labor switchThe Prime Minister attacked Labor over its policy agenda and promised voters 'I will burn for you every day' if re-elected. And nine months ago one M B Turnbull argued now was not the time to switch to a happy clapping gay hating human rights denying evangelical arsehole, and yet here we are. You’re right. It should have been done much earlier. That way ScuMo and his minions wouldn’t have been the total fuck up that they have been ScottMorrisonMP When is the time to change to Labor PM?
