Sam Hibbins received a standing ovation when he arrived to thank those members of his team who were still standing after the final recount for the election of the Victorian State Electoral District of Prahan wound up around late tonight. Despite the Liberal Party sending am army of intimidating scrutineers, including a QC, who challenged the validity of every second Green vote, the VEC the Greens lead actually increased after 15 more votes for the Greens were discovered that had accidentally been placed on other piles. Heres Sam, a few minutes later, as gracious as ever. He will make an excellent MP.
