Labor Leader Katy Gallagher said there had been no formal discussions between the parties since last night’s count, which has so far delivered a 1.7 per cent swing to Labor and a 4.6 per cent swing against the Greens.

But Ms Gallagher did call Meredith Hunter, who is expected to retain her seat in Ginninderra, after the Greens Leader delivered her speech to party supporters last night.

“I spoke to her briefly just to see how she was going,” Ms Gallagher said.

“It was more of a friendly politician to politician chat, like a colleague in a sense, than anything else.

“It’s way too early to start any formal negotiations, but we did last time and we will do that again.”

Ms Gallagher said both parties would sit down for formal talks this week and the subject of a Ministry for one of the returning Greens MLAs was not off the table.

“I’ve always said that I would be prepared to negotiate,” she said.

The Greens haven’t sought that from the Labor Party in the past, they haven’t raised that with me during the campaign, but we’ll see what they come to the table with as well.

“You never rule anything out or rule anything in.”

Ms Gallagher dismissed claims by Canberra Liberals Leader Zed Seselja that a 6.5 per cent swing to the Liberals across the territory was a rejection of the relationship between Labor and the Greens.

“I completely reject that,” she said.

“Over 52 per cent of the community voted for the Labor Party and the Greens.

“You can’t put any other partnership together and get that sort of vote.

“Yes, there has been a swing against the Greens but there’s been a swing to the Labor Party.

“I think to suggest that that is in any way a repudiation of that relationship is just simply laughable.”
