The Canberra Times has a piece on the divvying up of the electoral commission loot post election based on votes garnered:
- “Almost $30,000 went to parties and Independent candidates who failed to win any seats in the Legislative Assembly, including almost $12,000 to the Australian Motorist Party and almost $6000 to Ginninderra Independent Mark Parton.
The Labor and Liberal parties were the big winners, pulling in $116,887 and $98,760 respectively.”
Before anyone gets outraged it’s pretty small beer compared to what most of them paid WIN to little effect.
