Antony Green's Analysis
The key feature of the NSW distribution of preferences is the way that Liberals For Forests and the Christian Democrats harvest preferences throughout the count, choking off the flow of preferences to the Greens. This prevents the Greens from passing the Labor vote at the end of the count, resulting in Labor winning the final vacancy on Green preferences. The most important preferences were those of the Australian Democrats. Had Democrat preferences flown to the Greens rather than Liberals for Forests and the Christian Democrats, then the final vacancy would have been won by the Greens' John Kaye. Instead, Labor's Michael Foreshaw won the sixth and final vacancy, the state splitting 3 Coalition, 3 Labor, the National Party's Fiona Nash winning a seat previously held by the Australian Democrats' Aden Ridgeway.

Total Primary Votes by Group
Comments: On primary votes, the Coalition win three seats and Labor two, with what looks like a tight tussle between Labor and the Greens for the final vacancy. However, the preference deals in NSW were labyrinthine, and as the count unfolds, Glen Druery of Liberals for Forests makes a dramatic rise from a lowly tenth ranking at the start of the count.

Successive exclusion of GRAHAM Greg (New Country Party), ZITEK Martin (Group K Independents), KITSON David (Australians Against Further Immigration) and WOLDRING Klaas (Progressive Labour Party)
5,941 ticket votes originally from New Country Party distributed by preference 3 to DRUERY Glenn (liberals for forests). 370 below the line preferences also distributed.
6,989 ticket votes originally from Group K Independents distributed by preference 7 to GALLAGHER Mick (No GST). 158 below the line preferences also distributed.
10,735 ticket votes originally from Australians Against Further Immigration distributed by preference 5 to GALLAGHER Mick (No GST). 871 below the line preferences also distributed.
13,011 ticket votes originally from Progressive Labour Party distributed by preference 3 to BALDERSTONE Michael Taylor (H.E.M.P.). 257 below the line preferences also distributed.
Comments: By this stage of the count, preference deals are having an important impact. Candidates like Glen Druery from Liberals for Forests and Mick Gallagher from No GST have engaged in complex preference deals and are passing candidates that did not arrange preference swaps with other small parties. In particular, No GST has risen from 17th position at the start of the count to 9th.

20,604 ticket votes originally from The Fishing Party distributed by preference 7 to DRUERY Glenn (liberals for forests)
5,036 below the line preferences also distributed.
Comments: The full extent of Liberals for Forests prefence deals are revealed by these four exclusions. Deals now push the party ahead of One Nation and leave the party trailing the Australian Democrats by just 4,000 votes. So far Liberals for Forests has more than quardupled its vote.

WOODS Joan (Family First) excluded
20,692 ticket votes originally from Family First distributed by preference 3 to NILE Fred (Christian Democratic Party). 2,169 below the line preferences also distributed.
Comments: Unlike other states, Family First did not do well with preferences. Most preferences flowing to Family First had first been caputerd by Liberals for Forests. So having received few preferences by this stage, Family First are excluded, their preferences flowing to the Christian Democrats.

13,011 ticket votes originally from Progressive Labour Party distributed by preference 11 to DRUERY Glenn (liberals for forests)
2,201 below the line preferences also distributed.
Comments: The persuasive powers of Glenn Druery in preference negotions were further revealed at this count. Liberals for Forests gained the preferences of two leftish parties in the Progressive Labour Party and H.E.M.P. When Druery is eventually excluded, these preferences flow to the Greens, but the Greens would rather have received the preferences earlier in the count.

TIERNEY John (Liberal/National Party) excluded
41,780 ticket votes originally from Liberal/National Party distributed by preference 7 to NILE Fred (Christian Democratic Party). Around 4,309 below the line preferences also distributed.
Comments: The exclusion of the fourth Coalition candidate at this count helps the cause of the Christian Democrats. However, the combined Labor and Green vote exceeds a quota. The Greens preferences flow straight to Labor, while Labor's preferences to the Greens flow by complex means after first passing through Liberals for Forests and partly though the Christian Democrats. As long as Labor stays ahead of the Greens, the only outcome now possible is a Labor victory. If Labor falls behind the Greens, Labor preferences would not necessarily flow to the Greens, though victory by anyone else would depend on who remained in the count.

Comments: After a dramatic rise in the count, Mick Gallagher of No GST is finally excluded, most of the vote currently residing with him now flowing to Liberals for Forests. Liberals for Forests now pass both the Christian Democrats and the Australian Democrats.

2,539 ticket votes originally from Australian Progressive Alliance distributed by preference 6 to DRUERY Glenn (liberals for forests)
6,989 ticket votes originally from Group K Independents distributed by preference 39 to NILE Fred (Christian Democratic Party)
2,304 ticket votes originally from Citizens Electoral Council distributed by preference 9 to KAYE John (The Greens)
17,980 below the line preferences also distributed
Comments: Critical to the final outcome at this point is the fact the Democrat preferences do not flow to the Greens. Instead, Democrat preferences flowed to Liberals for Forests at this count and the Christian Democrats at the next count. This prevented the Greens from closing the gap on Labor. Note that Liberals for Forests had attracted very few below the line votes during the count. As a result, at this stage the Christian Democrats had a small lead over Liberals for Forests, resulting in Glenn Druery's exclusion at the next count. Note that even if the Christian Democrats had been excluded at this count, Labor would still have won the final vacancy. The crucial point in determining the final vacancy in NSW was the ability of Labor to keep its lead over the Greens.

5,151 below the line preferences also distributed
Comments: The scale of Glenn Druery's preference deals are revealed by the large number of ticket votes distributed at this count. Crucially, the Democrat ticket votes now flowed to the Christian Democrats, which left the Labor total ahead of the Greens. Despite this count putting the Christian Democrats into first place, it is the fact that the Greens remain in third place which determines the final vacancy.
