The Democratic Labor Party’s John Mulholland, yesterday announced as the provisional winner of a Victorian upper house seat, has today been denied the Northern Metropolitan quota after a recount of votes.

Announcing the new winner, the ALP’s Nazih Elasmar, a VEC spokesperson said, “Mr Mulholland has come up short.” Asked how short by a reporter the spokesperson replied, “about two buttons.”

After yesterday claiming a mandate from the Victorian people based upon less than 2% of the primary vote, Mr Mulholland today conceded that this was stretching the truth a little. “I now concede,” he said, “that the Victorian people are looking for a little bit more in their elected representatives.” Asked how much more by a reporter he replied, “about two buttons.”
