ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Former Wallabies captain David Pocock seals historic win to claim ACT senate seat | ABC News” – below is their description.
Former rugby union star David Pocock has made history, becoming the first independent senator for a territory.
Yesterday the Australian Electoral Commission confirmed he had unseated former ACT Liberal senator Zed Seselja, taking the territory’s second Senate seat alongside Labor’s Katy Gallagher.
Mr Pocock, a conservationist and former Wallabies captain, had been predicted to take the seat since the night of the federal election, but he had not officially declared victory, nor had Mr Seselja declared defeat.
