Nsw review

The last area to look at is nsw a state that looked like a wipeout going in now seems to have buckled the trend with almost a reverse of 2010 labor held strong in western sydney. The results went better in many but not in all. The first area to comment on is the central coast both where woman-woman two candidate contests with Craig Thomson coming up well short with only peter slipper historically doing worst which does not show much about honesty. Dobell was a very close contest and despite the Thomson saga labor came within 3/5ths of one percent, Robertson well fell but not as bad as expected. The nats wasteful campaigns got to 12% in throsby while the seat of MacArthur went to possibly one of it’s safest liberal margins in it’s history labor held Cunningham. The seat of hunter snapped a long run as a safe seat with fitzgibion having a marginal seat for the first time since the hawke goverenment. The Abbott name factor had no effect in refusing labor’s margin in Newcastle to below a record. Labor got a new member in charlton and held shortland the libs suprised many in their swing in Patterson putting it right near the primeeminister’s seat of warringah which was held the north shore kept strong lib with Mitchell the most western of the seats being the safest metropolitan seat while Phillip ruddock has a mandate to be the second longest serving member I all time. The rural areas saw page and Eden-Monaco remain litness test Gilmore supprised many in having the libs margin halfed. The libs had no trouble in hume without a nat and the nats won both former independent held seats New England and lyne labor is reduced to only Richmond in rural areas. Parkes was the easiest win to the coalition. Some sydney seats have what looks like temporary in Cook after a state swing while Hughes is now increased a bit. The Western Sydney blow out never happened the libs won one seat off labor (Lindsay) despite one if the worst candidate comments of the campaign. The inner seats of banks and Reid fell for the first time while Barton was a very close lib win in the 3rd safest seat to fall in the country. Greenway held on against expectations due to a terrible candidate James Diaz. Fowler was the biggest swing to labor anywhere in the country. The senate had controversy that a commentator who was on the drum recently denies saw name confusion elected a liberal democrat (not the liberal the democrats or the Christian democrats) almost costing assistant treasure author sensdious his seat who succeeded Helen Conan in the last term labor got 2 seats with one elected already retired bob Carr. There was no return of Pauline Hanson.
