SHOOTERS, Fishers and Farmers Party candidate Phil Donato says it is still too close to tell if he has been successful in winning the seat of Orange following on from the electorate’s by-election on Saturday.
As of Monday afternoon, 87.8 per cent of votes had been counted and, after preferences, Donato was leading on 50.1 per cent ahead of the Nationals Scott Barrett who was sitting on 49.9 per cent.
It is a massive disappointment for the NSW Nationals who have held the seat since 1947 and won the seat at the last state election with a swing of 21.7 per cent.
