Gladys Berejiklian re-elected as New South Wales Premier

The Berejiklian government has held on to power in New South Wales, making Gladys Berejiklian the state's first elected female premier. With counting continuing, the Coalition appears to have won 46 of the 47 seats they need, meaning they could return as a minority government. If they fall short, Ms Berejiklian has already secured the confidence of three returning independents. The win is being seen as win for women and a boost to the federal Coalition, just two months out from the federal election.
