division of cox preview 2018/19

Welcome back

We are bringing a guide to the 151 seats at this stage in the next election starting with the renamed seat of cox originally corangimite which has exsisted since federation renamed for this election despite protests from the current member the seat in its old form has been long conservative but its most senior member James Scullin was a labor pm but in a different seat as pm it also has been won by the country party as one of their first victories ever in 1918. from 1934 till 2007 it was always liberal held with Tony street (Fraser minister) and Stewart McArthur (back bencher for 23 years) in 2007 the seat was won by Darren cheesemen who held on in 2010 both times by under 1% he lost in 2013 to Sarah Henderson of the libs who held it in 2016 the seat has been redrawn closer to Geelong in the redistribution and is the libs most marginal seat now almost an exact tie with labor. With the complaints about the naming of the seat by Henderson she could very easily lose it. Combined with not having the cfa issue this seat will likely fall.
Prediction alp gain.
