The team worked well together at the frantic pace of the high-energy situation: as members of the public and candidates alike stared hopefully up at the tally room board, we’d hurriedly discuss between crosses the implication of the numerical blizzard of inflowing information, elucidated by David Bromage’s and Tim McCann’s swift and incisive reading of the figures tables on the Australian Electoral Commission website (and muddied by the paper reams of preferences flows calculated and supplied by the AEC) as we’d scribble down the relevant counts to our electorates. Steve Pratt, an early casualty, was an even earlier visitor to the Tally Room, there before the sun set on the day and on his political career. Pre-poll psephologist Malcolm Mackerras was seen floating between tables, at one point asking us if we wanted to interview him, but his predictions were yesterday’s news – he was trumped by our own floating psephologist Ray Polglaze, who provided some canny insights into implications of how the count was going: for example, that Community Alliance’s Val Jeffrey might actually get up in Brindabella on preferences flows (and as it turned out, on a first-preferences-only count he would have).

Among interviewees nabbed were ultimately triumphant Meredith Hunter for the Greens, unsuccessful Independent Mark Parton and outgoing MLA Bill Stefaniak.

We all felt the outside broadcast from the Tally Room went really well and that 2XX is well set up to stand beside the mainstream media in situations like this. 2XX was in fact the first media outlet to call the result of 7 Labor, 6 Liberals and 4 Greens – Liz O’Brien saw it way before any of the other media outlets, the result only becoming known many days later. Up until then, it was believed that Labor and the Liberals would be even on 7, with the Greens getting 3 seats).

Featuring: Solo Violinist Erin Patrick, Performance Artist Troupe 442, Acoustic Musicians and much more.

Member for Ginniderra & Speaker of the ACT Legislative Assembly, Wayne Berry gave an entertaining and enlightening presentation on “The Voice of The Community in Action”.
