The seat of outgoing and retiring Health Minister Brad Hazzard looks set to be an Independent gain by Warringah Mayor Michael Regan on a huge 25% swing #NSWpol
As evidence of the projected national Labor swing - the seats of South Coast and Lane Cove are currently sitting in the Labor column (although it’s early). Both of the these seats were rated 10%+ Liberal on the pendulum and were well down on the list of Labor targets #NSWvotes
Some good news for the Liberals - they are currently projected to be ahead in the Labor marginal of Leppington. This is the second most marginal Labor seat after Chris Minn’s own seat of Kogarah 🇦🇺
🚨 Upset alert 🚨 Dominic Perrottet is in a very close fight for his own seat of Epping against second-time challenger Alan Mascarenhas - definitely a seat to keep a close eye on. Surprising that his seat would be more vulnerable than Minns’ #NSWvotes
We’ve seen enough - the ALP will form Government in New South Wales. We now wait to see if it will be minority or majority, but early results are suggesting that Chris Minns could lead his party over the 47 seats required for majority control #NSWvotes
A teal win in the seat of Wollondilly in the South of Sydney for Judy Hannan - observers had wondered whether new Independents would struggle in the optional preference system #NSWpol
After the ALP form a Government in New South Wales, all mainland Australian states and the federal Government will be led by Labor at once for the first time since 2007 #nswelection
#ICYMI After a lower swing in the absent and pre-polls, NSW Labor will fall short and form minority government. They are likely to have 45 seats (47 needed for majority), but 3 crossbenchers have provided confidence and supply. #Australia🇦🇺 #auspol #NSWpol #NSWvotes
Seats such as Oatley, Holsworthy, Goulburn, Terrigal and likely the seat of Ryde all looked gone for the Liberals on election night, but with further counting, the Liberals will retain them, and boost the party's seat numbers. #Australia🇦🇺 #auspol #NSWpol #NSWvotes
Lower swings against the former government also ensured the Liberals held on in Pittwater and Willoughby. The Coalition is likely to hold 36 seats (same number that Labor held in 2019 before the election) #Australia🇦🇺 #auspol #NSWpol #NSWvotes
