Labor seats shrink from 82 to possibly 12, with several ALP members already out. Premier-designate remains from the National Party, as Liberal gains peak but do not surpass coalition totals.

The labour market deteriorated in November with unemployment up 41,308 to 4,009 and vacancies rising 37 percent to 40,414. Seasonally adjusted figures show unemployment near 3.59 percent and forecast further rises into the year, with concerns over election timing and wage pressures amid industry retrenchments and rising automation. Minister Cameron warned the seasonally adjusted rate may climb until April.

Compromise offer to ACT doctors seeks staffing formula
The Health Minister Dr Everingham and Social Security Minister Mr Hayden will reopen talks with private medical practitioners in the ACT to adopt a hospital staffing formula used elsewhere in Australia. The plan would mix full time salaried specialists, part time sessional private practitioners, and fee for service doctors to broaden choice, improve coverage, and foster cooperation between private GPs and the hospital service. Dr John Connors of the ACT Medical Association said a letter noted the initiative and he would convene visiting practitioners once details arrive.
