ELECTION: Break down of key Wide Bay polling booths
THE LNP is so popular in the Tansey district, on Gympie Region's western fringe, that locals probably know exactly who the 13 Labor voters are.
The tiny settlement, bordering the South Burnett region provides the LNP with its strongest support, in percentage terms, across the Wide Bay electorate.
In counting so far, with 64 of 66 polling places counted, the LNP's Llew O'Brien won 71 of the community's 84 in-person votes in two-party preferred counting.
That gives Mr O'Brien 84.52 per cent of the vote, a 1.03 per cent swing against Labor's Jason Scanes.
Nearby Cherbourg, slightly larger, was the booth that gave Labor its strongest support across the electorate, giving candidate Jason Scanes 191 of its 259 votes, or 73.75 per cent of the total vote, despite a 1.65 per cent swing to the LNP.
Around the electorate, Mr O'Brien led everywhere except Boreen Point (where Mr Scanes won 256, or 55.29 per cent of the lakeside Noosa district town's 463 votes); Cooran (where Mr Scanes won 520 of 922 votes, or 56.4 per cent, with a swing to him of 1.17 per cent) and Peregian Beach (where Mr Scanes won 50.52 per cent, or 588 votes out of 1164, with a swing to Labor of 5.23 per cent).
