    A job well done for the voters in the area. The Nationals thought the people’s anger over mergers and the greyhound ban would be nothing more than bluster and wouldn’t go any further than that but we have taken our anger to the ballot box and punished them for their contempt of the electorate lets hope defeat is officially declared and it will be a long time before the nationals ever reclaim the seat
