bshoc, are you sleeping with Debnam's script writer? because you are regurgitating those phrases even more than he does and I'm still waiting for a "softly-softly" and "bureaucrats" to be thrown in there as well.
Large swings are easier in state seats, and it has been done before under Neville Wran, plus with the dissatisfaction of the current Opposition and the departure of Andrew Tink.
I think the Liberals are gonna lose Epping, since everyone hates the candidate who is some far right pro-life retard. A lot of people angry after he went doorknocking in the early morning when they were still in pyjamas around North Epping.
Did anyone see the 7.30 report and see Debnam ignore every single question he was asked even when he was told to resign and let Barry O'Farrell replace him as leader, he just went on and repeatedly outlined the water policy over and over, I just wanted to smack him in the face for being a waste...
Eastwood, Epping and Carlo were in the electorate of Dundas before 1993 (held by Philip Ruddock) and Lane Cove and Hunters Hill LGAs are now completely in North Sydney.
