Labor has held power continuously since 2001 at a territory level — the Stanhope-Gallagher-Barr Government is just a few months away from being allowed into the Mooseheads nightclub.
He won a by-election in 1995 but his seat was swiftly returned to Labor just 13 months later, even amid a swing to the Coalition that saw John Howard thrust into office.A common jab at Canberra's status as a Labor town is that self-interested public servants flock to a party that is often seen as being softer on public sector jobs and conditions.But political scientist John Warhurst said that was just one of many factors pushing the capital a little to the left.
"Higher academic qualifications tend to be more Labor than Coalition — and the ACT would have a high percentage of those with a university education and perhaps even a postgraduate university education. So even though the territory's somewhat government-reliant workforce may play some role in its voting habits, there is more nuance than immediate self interest.

The abc can still produce a pile of shit and call it news.

You are still banging on ABC - face it you lost fair and square - Australians aren’t coming to terms with anything- they were the ones who voted - it’s the poor ABC which is in shock 😂
Why are we “coming to terms” with it? It’s that sort of language that confirms the ABC is biased
ANALYSIS Cuts and privatization ABC comes to terms with last night's election results. 'it's business as usual'
