Miles declares 'a win is a win' as Labor squeaks by in by-election
Key takeaways
- Labor has won the Stafford by-election, but suffered a 4.1 per cent swing away from it to the LNP.
- If Labor had lost, it would have sent alarm bells ringing through his caucus and made it extremely difficult for the one-time premier to stay on as leader.
- But with the win, Mr Miles's leadership appears safe, for now at least, with no change imminent.
Why this matters: an international story with cross-border implications worth tracking.
