The day after the 2014 state election and the posters are starting to come down. Former Managing Director of Forestry Tasmania, Bob Gordon, stood for the Australian Labor Party in the seat of Lyons. At the end of counting on election day, Gordon had just over 2400 votes, trailing former Labor member David Llewellyn by over 2000 votes. Llewellyn, who was defeated at the 2010 state election, is vying for the last seat with Greens MHA Tim Morris. Labor MHA Rebecca White will be elected. Photo: Westerway, June 16, 2014.
