'Calibre of candidates' should be applauded

MLC hails election outcome

The candidate who topped the poll in yesterday’s Legislative Council election has hailed the result of the contest.

Jane Poole-Wilson was returned to the upper house after gaining 22 out of a possible 24 votes.

All five seats were filled by women.

However, the solicitor – first elected last May - says the new diverse look of the upper house should be applauded.
