Brindabella, a five-member electorate comprising the district of Tuggeranong and the districts of Booth, Cotter River, Paddy’s River, Rendezvous Creek, Tennent and Mount Clear;

Ginninderra, a five-member electorate comprising the district of Belconnen (excluding the suburbs of Giralang and Kaleen);

Kurrajong, a five-member electorate comprising the district of Canberra Central (excluding the suburbs of Deakin, Forrest, Red Hill and Yarralumla), and the districts of Jerrabomberra (including the entire suburb of Hume), Kowen and Majura;

Murrumbidgee, a five-member electorate comprising the districts of Molonglo Valley, Weston Creek, Woden Valley, Coree (including the village of Uriarra) and Stromlo, and the Canberra Central suburbs of Deakin, Forrest, Red Hill and Yarralumla; and

25 Members for such a small place like the ACT still surprises me.
The Greens will maintain the ruling balance in the Assembly.
The Hare-Clarke system doesn’t serve the ACT proportionally.
But I have to take my hat off to the Greens – well done in advance for the next election (and the one after that, and the one…).
