The ABC is reporting that Andrew Barr has won the recount for Ted Quinlan’s vacant seat in the ACT Legislative Assembly.
He would appear to also covet Ted’s old role as “the sane one” with this comment on Government finances:
I see the immediate priority for the Government is to return the Territory budget to surplus, which will provide the necessary funds to rebuild public infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, roads and footpaths and to improve housing affordability
A look over the candidate questionaire Andrew returned to us before the last election also reveals he is unusual in ALP circles in favouring the Brumbies over the Raiders.
Now the next question will be who get’s the ministerial vacancy?
UPDATED: The Canberra Times has caught up with the story. This interesting line from Our Brave Leader:
he valued Mr Barr’s experience and commitment to the Labor Party.
There’s a potential MLA who’s commitment to the party he doubts?
