The two seats up for election were Apsley, held by independent MLC Tania Rattray, and Elwick, held by retiring Labor-turned-independent MLC Terry Martin. These seats were last contested in 2004. Apsley Sitting independent MLC Tania Rattray was the sole nominee for the election in Apsley, which she had held since 2004. She was thus declared re-elected unopposed. Apsley results Tasmanian Legislative Council periodic elections, 2010: Apsley Independent Tania Rattray unopposed Independent N/A Elwick The Hobart seat had been held by Terry Martin since 2004. Martin was facing court on charges of child sex offences, and was not recontesting the election. A frontrunner emerged in Adriana Taylor, Glenorchy Mayor and Labor Party member, although in common with the prevalence of independents in the Legislative Council, Taylor did not seek party endorsement. There were suggestions that Lisa Singh, defeated Labor MHA and former government minister, or Andrew Wilkie might run, but these came to nothing. The Labor Party did endorse a candidate, Health and Community Services Union official Tim Jacobson. The Tasmanian Greens endorsed Housing Tasmania policy officer Kartika Franks, who ran on the Greens' ticket in Denison at the 2010 state election.http://tasmaniantimes.com/index.php/article/its-quiet-on-the-legco-front Tucker Peter Bonham Kevin It's quiet on the LegCo front Tasmanian Times 19 April 2010 7 October 2013 Elwick results Tasmanian Legislative Council periodic elections, 2010: ElwickDivision of Elwick 2010 Legislative Council election results Tasmanian Electoral Commission http://www.electoral.tas.gov.au/pages/LegislativeCouncilMain.html 2010 14 March 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070325135209/http://www.electoral.tas.gov.au/pages/LegislativeCouncilMain.html 25 March 2007 Independent Adriana Taylor 9,598 48.88 +48.88 Labor TAS Tim Jacobson 7,455 37.97 +37.97 Greens TAS Kartika Franks 2,581 13.15 +13.15 19,634 95.89 842 4.11 20,476 81.19 Independent Adriana Taylor 11,011 56.08 +56.08 Labor TAS Tim Jacobson 8,623 43.92 +43.92 Independent References Category:2010 elections in Australia Category:Elections in Tasmania Category:2010s in Tasmania Category:May 2010 in Australia
