NSW:Greens "almost certain" of Balmain
The New South Wales Greens say they're almost certain their candidate JAMIE PARKER
has won the inner-west Sydney seat of Balmain .. a week after the state election.
However campaign spokesman and upper house MP DAVID SHOEBRIDGE has stopped short of
claiming outright victory for Mr PARKER.
Mr SHOEBRIDGE says his colleague has polled 201 more votes than Labor's VERITY FIRTH
after distribution of preferences today.
The NSW Electoral Commission is yet to confirm the result .. but if correct it gives
the Greens their first seat in the NSW lower house.
A result is expected to be declared around three this afternoon (AEDT).
