Swing electorate my arse. I guess I got a little ahead of myself in the election lead up...
| Candidate | Party | Votes | This Election (%) | Last Election (%) | Swing (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAXFIELD, Christine | Australian Labor Party | 35,333 | 45.47 | 45.21 | +0.26 |
BROADBENT, Russell | Liberal | 42,371 | 54.53 | 54.79 | -0.26 |
Because the only thing swinging right now is Russel Broadbent's third term goolies.
And rightly so - if you haven't seen this man speak publicly, pencil it in. Compared to some efforts on the national level: 100% pure statesman - even when he's talking about cows. Were McMillian safe liberal territory he'd surely have his own portfolio, although something tells me it wouldn't be Immigration:
"We are suffering a drought in this nation and it is my fervent prayer that the rains would fall to fill our rivers and streams, our lakes and our dams so that each raindrop would form a mighty flood that is so full of compassion and justice that it would not only soften the parched earth but also soften the nation's heart." (speech to House of Representatives, 9.8.06. Martin Luther King's estate has since sued for breach of copyright)
But all great men have their weakness. Russell found his when someone gave him an action contract and a teleprompter...
Notice how the boats part is missing? Awkward.
