Hmmmm, Before the Lindsay “Chaser Joke”.

IMO: Wentworth and Bennelong in real danger of going to Labour because of it (despite PMs solid if uninspiring Press Club appearance today), and maybe a few more close ones, just due to the “bugga you, I’ve had enough of this election crap” from the sheeple.

Trend to watch, Greens and left leaning indie primary vote share in Lower House.

And it will make for an interesting senate without the DEMS won’t it?

I’m really hoping you’ve got it right - I’d be really happy with this outcome, particularly if the Greens do that well in the senate.

I haven’t had a chance to read this in detail yet, have you entered this into Crikey’s tipping competition?

I live in Cowper, and I hope you’re right, but the ALP campaign has been pretty invisible. I know several people who are thinking of voting Labor, but who can’t name the candidate. The only ALP material to hit our letterbox hasn’t mentioned the candidate (it’s just generic anti-WorkChoices, or generic pro-Rudd stuff). Nats on the other hand have put out many glossy brochures full of locally targetted plans/achievements - full of lies and promises to do stuff they’ve spent 11 years not doing, and no mention of all the things they’ve done that stink, but if you’d just landed from another planet (and for many swinging voters that’s the amount of sophistication they’re bringing to the polling booth) you’d think only the Nats were doing anything worthwhile.

Anyway, even if Cowper doesn’t go I’m secretly hoping the libs lose at least one of Warringah, North Sydney, or Cook. No harm in having a dream!

I think it will be 90+ for Labor with 55% TPP
