	The Poll Bludger - Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly Election 2004
		The electorate of Brindabella covers the rural areas in the south of the Territory and outer southern Canberra including Tuggeranong.
		Its voting habits have been little different from those at the other end of town in Brindabella (the other five-member electorate), except that Labor didn't quite get over the line to win a third seat here in 2001.
		The system's closest Australian relative is that for the Tasmanian lower house, sharing with it rotating ordering of candidates on the ballot paper so that candidates must compete for votes with party colleagues, in contrast to the otherwise similar Senate system where the parties determine the order of their lists.

	The Poll Bludger
		The election will be the sixth since self-government was established in 1989 and the fourth since the original single electorate system made way for three electorates, two (Brindabella and Ginninderra) with five members and one (Molonglo) with seven, elected under the Hare-Clark sytem.
		The system's closest Australian relative is that for the Tasmanian lower house, sharing with it rotating ordering of candidates on the ballot paper so that candidates must compete for votes with party colleagues, in contrast to the otherwise similar Senate system where the parties determine the order of their lists.
		A poll published in the Canberra Times on election eve has Labor on 55 per cent, Liberal on 30 per cent and the Greens on 11 per cent (after allocation of undecided), suggesting 10 seats for Labor might not be out of the question after all.
