Andrew Gee polled at his lowest in Millthorpe as did all of the conservative candidates. Millthorpe was Ms Hook's best booth with 33.10 percent, 13 percentage points above her average, being counted.
Despite the backing of the United Australia Party's $100 million war chest, Adam Jannis's vote at every booth never got above that of Bathurst Real Estate identity and One Nation candidate Stacey Whittaker.
Similarly the Labor party vote was consistently greater than that of the Greens and was highest of all in Carcoar and Blayney.
