Clover Moore has won an historic 6th term as Sydney Mayor, and The Greens have performed worse than expected in a number of inner city seats, in a unique set of Local Government elections yesterday. 

Eight councils didn’t field a single Liberal Party Candidate, due to an administrative failure by the party’s state executive to nominate candidates by the NSW Electoral Commission’s deadline last month. 

Four councils and wards which didn’t even have enough nominations to hold elections, so those who did nominate were elected unopposed.

Bill Woods chats with Sydney Morning Herald Urban Affairs Reporter, Anthony Segeart to find out everything you need to know about one of the most bizarre local government elections in recent history.
