Australian State Results

As widely expected, Tasmania is looking to be a hung parliament, with the Greens having the balance of power. A couple of seats are very close but at this stage it looks like Liberals and Labor gets 10 seats each and Greens five seats.

Tasmania Labor have lost four seats, three to the Libs and one to the Greens. The swing from Labor was 12.9% with Libs up 7% and Greens 6%.

In South Australia though, Labor looks like it has defied the polls predicting they would lose their majority. There were some big swings (7.7% on average to date) against them, but not evenly.

At this stage Labor look to have 25 seats, one more than what they need to have a majority. Mike Rann will be a very happy man.
