NSW: Nationals headed for victory in Tamworth
SYDNEY, Dec 8 AAP - The National Party was on course for victory tonight in the Tamworth
by-election in NSW.
With about three-quarters of the vote counted, Nationals candidate John Cull and Independent
James Treloar, Tamworth's mayor, emerged as front-runners on primary votes.
Mr Cull had polled just over 36 per cent of the votes, while Mr Treloar had almost 23 per cent.
But a preliminary distribution of preferences by the State Electoral Office has indicated
a victory for the Nationals.
The distribution puts Mr Cull's vote at 53 per cent to Mr Treloar's 35 per cent.
