A Dominic Perrottet win on March 25 would not only continue the Coalition's 12-year reign in New South Wales but also stem the Labor tide sweeping across Australia.
Penrith is one of the Coalition's most marginal seats — held on a wafer-thin margin of 0.6 per cent — so Labor is going in for the steal.Mr Ayres is facing-off against former Penrith mayor Karen McKeown, who lost to him by just over 1,000 votes at the 2019 election.New electoral boundaries have made it a nominal Labor seat which spells bad news for Liberal MP Lee Evans who has held the seat for 12 years.
Once these deals were made, either the Coalition or Labor would have what's called a minority government.Some of the independents already in parliament have been putting forward issues that are important to them and could sway their support if a minority government needs to be formed.says a cashless card for poker machines and a ban on gay conversion practices will be crucial to get his support.
All these candidates will be hoping to capitalise on the momentum generated by the six teal independents who had success at last year's federal election.But it's harder for independents to have success at a NSW election due to optional preferential voting.
