Labor faces a difficult electoral map, requiring an additional nine seats to sweep the Coalition from power in its last stronghold on mainland Australia
Labor party believes it will end its 12-year stint in the electoral wilderness on Saturday, pinning its hopes on the 43-year-old former firefighter and political staffer Chris Minns to return it to government after a gruelling three-month campaign.
Both leaders spent the final day of the campaign on Friday campaigning in key seats in Sydney’s west, but it was the premier,Facing the prospect of seeing the Coalition swept from power in its last stronghold on mainland Australia, Perrottet’s final day on the hustings was spent fending off a series of challengers from both sides of Sydney’s political and economic divide, embarking on a sandbagging tour stretching from the north shore to Penrith.
It came as the final Newspoll of the election on Saturday pointed to a Labor majority. The poll of 1205 voters,, showed a two-party-preferred result of 54.5% to 45.5% to Labor, a 6.5% swing since the 2019 election and enough to secure 10 seats for the opposition. His only visit to a Labor-held seat during the final week of the campaign was a stop-off in the ultra-marginal seat of Kogarah, held by Minns.But in his final pre-election press conference, Perrottet denied he was protecting the furniture, saying he was “traveling right the state around because it’s an important choice at this election”.
