Bass, Braddon, Indi, Lindsay and Wentworth to be Coalition gains. Herbert another potential.
Coalition Losses at least Cowper, Reid and Banks in NSW, Pearce and Hasluck likely losses in WA, smashed to virtual oblivion in metropolitan Victoria. Qld hit and miss and still either way, but Petrie and Forde gone.
Status Quo in the other states, but Labor to get the extra seat in the ACT.
Just an update on my earlier thoughts a few weeks back. I think the Hawke factor has probably sealed the deal, but I suggest Labor was going to get enough to win anyway.
So we start out tomorrow at 74 LNP, 69 Labor and 7 Independents.
Herbert I think will definitely go LNP now though. Interesting to see how Bass, Braddon and Lindsay go though, they might stay Labor with the Hawke factor, but I will commit to a Liberal win. That takes LNP up to 80 with 6 wins, but puts Labor down to 66 (after adding in Bean in the ACT) and Independents down to 5 .
However, I think Labor will do really well in outer metropolitan in Melbourne and pick up Chisholm (from Independent), Corangamite, Dunkley and La Trobe. Looks like LNP are also going to lose Cower, Gilmore and Robertson in regional NSW With Reid, Banks, Pearce, Hasluck, Petrie and Forde and Cowper to go Independent, that is 12 gains for Labor, 12 losses for LNP and Net 0 for Independents. That is Labor 78, Liberal 68 and 5 Independents.
I think potentially the Hawke factor could result in holds for Bass, Braddon, Lindsay and possibly a pick up in Dickson for Labor.
Interesting night tomorrow night anyway.
Edit - I forgot about a couple of regional seats in NSW that look likely to go Labor...Updated numbers.
