And Treasury Minister Senator Philip Ozouf is in a tough battle of his own, this time with Senator Sarah Ferguson to hang on to eighth.
Senators Farnham, Routier and Maclean all look like retaining their seats, with Deputy Andrew Green in prime position for a ‘promotion’ to the senatorial benches. Dr Zoe Cameron is the only newcomer to have made an impact, and is running well for one of the eight positions. However the political careers of Deputies Sean Power and John Young might be over, currently they are sitting outside of the top eight.
