Finance Minister Predicts David Pocock Will Win ACT Senate Seat in Next Year's Election

Finance Minister Katy Gallagher has made a bold prediction about the ACT senate contest as the nation gears up for the next election.Finance Minister Katy Gallagher expects independent Senator David Pocock to win the first ACT seat in next year’s federal election as Labor won't"have as much money".

Speaking to reporters on Thursday after an address on Australian Public Service reform at the National Press Club, Ms Gallagher said the race would be a “marginal seat contest”. “And I think, personally ... David Pocock will be elected first, and then I think it's a race between Labor for the second seat. I think that's how it will play out.”

“I expect his donors will run a similar size campaign for him again. We won't have that money. We don't – in my time in politics, I've never seen that sort of money in Canberra.At the 2022 election, Gallagher took first place while Pocock was elected the ACT’s first independent Senator after unseating the Liberal Party’s Zed Seselja.
