Saturday’s state election has seen one of the tightest contests in several years for the local seat of Chaffey.
Voters locally were attracted to One Nation in a big way, seeing them pick up 33.9% of the 1st preference vote, just behind the Liberal’s Tim Whetstone who gathered 35.5%.
While some votes are yet to be counted, two candidate preferred voting sees Whetstone lead the contest currently by around 2000 votes, with that enough to retain the seat for a 5th term.
