Tyrell and One Nation win upper house seat

A third new member was required with the retirement of Labor member Mark Gepp.

Labor will have only one representative in Northern Victoria as candidate James McWhinney failed in his bid to replace Mr Gepp in the role.

Jaclyn Symes will represent the government, returned to her role, while Liberal Wendy Lovell was also returned.

Nationals candidate Gaelle Broad was elected, as was Ms Tyrell and Animal Justice Party’s Georgie Purcell.

These results were based on 88.35 per cent of the vote being counted. Ms Purcell and Ms Tyrell were elected in the 24th and 25th counts under the complicated counting system.
