"At the local level I'm delighted to be re-elected again -  there's a lot of work that goes into that," Ms Watson.

"But I was disappointed that Labor didn't win the election but the voters have decided and it's another four years of a Liberal government."

As the votes were being counted on Saturday night, speculation started about the future of Labor leader Michael Daley but Ms Watson wouldn't be drawn on that issue.

"I'm not going to comment on Michael Daley - this is the morning after," she said. "We've obviously got some inward reflections to undertake.

"I will say this, I just hope the state Liberal government doesn't see this as an opportunity to privatise and sell off every single state-owned asset."

Ms Watson managed to increase her already strong 17 per cent margin, with the possibility of it going as high as 20 per cent once counting is finished.

But that won't see her take the electorate for granted.

"That doesn't come into it, my record stands for itself," she said.

"I fought hard to ensure the Liberals didn't sell off our public hospital, I fought hard with the community to ensure they didn't build a jail right in the middle of a new housing estate.

"I fought hard to stop the gutting of TAFE and council amalgamations. So there's no complacency on my part."
