Another preview, this time for the northern territory. The NT for a long time only had one seat until 2001 when the seat was split in two into Solomon (Darwin based) and lingiari (everything else) this state has both seats that can go either way and sometimes in a opposite trend to other states.
Labor’s strong seat is lingiari (alp 3.7) held by former member for the original seat, warren snowdon (no relation to Edward) this seat hasn’t yet been lost by labor and has a CLP (national) candidate with little local knowledge and didn’t know much about the Alice, but it had a swing against labor at the state election. The other seat Solomon (lib 1.7) is a swing seat and could go back to labor if the polls go according to plan but it does benefit the libs having an incumbent. It didn’t swing much at state level.
The questions are on the senate with trish crossin retiring for labor and is replaced controversially by nova Peris. Never has these senate seats been won by a minor party and this could change with the greens one day but unlike ACT as very different and won’t change while nigel scullion is safely there in any case.
