It's Bennelong Time Comming (Results)

(Backdated from 19/12)

Polling had indicated a Liberal victory with 41.3% of the primary vote and 53% on a two-party preferred count. There was no real surprise in the results; Liberal won with 45.1% of the primary vote, a little outside the margin of error on the polling, and 55.0% on a two-party preferred count.

This was a 2PP swing to Labor of around 4.7% and, although less than any polling had indicated, was hailed as a significant boon for the Labor party going forward.
