Battlelines drawn ahead of the ACT Election

ACT residents are heading to the polls this Saturday to decide whether to keep the Labor government in power for a seventh consecutive term.

It comes as a record number of independents are threatening to break-up the Labor-Greens coalition which could open the door to a Liberal government for the first time in 23 years.
