"There'll be a lot of analysis over the coming weeks around the final results and the low voter turnout," Ms Fyles said.
"Ultimately what we know is that the people who did turn out today voted to send Labor a message," she said, referring to the primary vote win by the CLP. "They want candidates who live in the electorate, candidates who speak for community issues, and want to see some real differences and changes."In defence of the new Fannie Bay member of parliament, Brent Potter, he has committed to moving his family into the electorate and said he's looking for somewhere to rent or buy in the area.
The former army veteran and fifth floor staffer now has two years to prove he's more than just a Labor party player chosen to fill a gap, and that he's willing to truly become part of the community who entrusted him with their votes.
