The only person who will be happier than Lorraine on the victory will be Upper House Lib, Inga Peulich who has successfully organized through her direct involvement in Local Government, two of her cronies into state seats namely Lorraine and Donna Bauer, (Kingston Council) only missing Geoff Ablett (Casey Council ) to make it a perfect trifecta.
