Nationals candidate Nichole Overall appears to have scored a surprise win in the contentious Bungendore booth to shore up her widely predicted byelection victory in the NSW seat of Monaro on the weekend.
As expected, Ms Overall held the seat vacated by former deputy premier John Barilaro despite strong community division in the country town east of Canberra over the proposed location of a new high school, which would carve a large chunk of the historic Mick Sherd Oval.
