Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has been re-elected to the city's top job, while the LNP looks set to win the Ipswich West by-election amid a significant swing away from the state Labor government.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has been re-elected to the city's top job, with the LNP on track to retain a majority of wards within the council chamber."While we expect to retain a majority in council, unfortunately many wards remain either too close to call or not enough votes have been counted," he said in a statement.
ABC election analyst Antony Green said the LNP would maintain its majority in the council chamber, but with "a bit of lost furniture along the way"."It's more the Labor vote is down, the Green vote is up and the LNP vote hasn't shifted much," he said. "Finally, and importantly, I want to thank the people of Brisbane for letting me into your lives, for sharing your ideas and your passion for our city."
Antony Green said Ms Nightingale had retained the seat for Labor. Despite holding Inala, Labor suffered a significant double-digit swing.The seat, previously a Labor stronghold held on a margin of more than 14 per cent, had four candidates — with One Nation and the LNP preferencing each other.Addressing supporters last night, Opposition leader David Crisafulli said "we are humbled by how many Queenslanders for the first time have voted for our side of politics."More than 1.

A further 33 per cent of commuters will be of the same duration on more efficient routes, while 13 per cent of bus commuters will have slightly slower bus trips, but have more suburban buses.
