Shadow, a 6% swing against your mob in Bennelong, repeated at a general election and Turnballs is history. KKK proved to be a bad choice for Labor, too much baggage, might be Eddies gal but no one else's. Turnballs hangs on for a while longer.

Happy Holidays in Point Piper.

Our Prime Minister will now be able to have a
relaxed Christmas and so will his family.

Mr Turnbull's 2018 recovery is not certain but
his demise would have been had he lost Bennelong.

Wishing you all the magic of Christmas
And much Happiness in the New Year 2018!

Happy Festive Season to you and your Family, and all the best for the New Year.

I must say KKK who I've had some experience campaigning against in the stare seat of Heffron would not have been my first choice for Labor candidate in Benelong, I found her very shallow on the issues, always working to scrip. Admittedly she was Primer, and did not spend a great deal of time local campaigning, left most of the groundwork to her 'yes men'. Both Keneally and Alexander are 'blow ins' in the seat, The days where Labor and Liberal could rely on a face to win votes is under threat, in my opinion. Had a Melbourne Cup size field of starters, 12 lined up, which never helps the Greens, and the Australian Conservatives vote was a shocker, considering there was no On Nation dude maybe they will do better in Queensland.

Foxy, and Paul,

Best wishes for the Xmas season.

Foxy,

I feel sorry that you struggle to differentiate between opinion and fact.

Paul,

If the 7% swing to the the coalition in New England by election is repeated across the country, Labor will loose about 20 seats.

It was good to see that after all Labor's huge effort, shameless lies and scare campaigns that they only managed a 5% swing against a sitting government MP where the average swing is about 6.5%. It bodes well for the election in 2019.

Dear Paul,

I'm not familiar with KKK - except that I think she's
good-looking and appears to be quite popular.
But then I think Mr Alexander seems to be quite presentable
as well. Malcolm Turnbull has been thrown a life-line with
this election win. He now needs to get the party together,
stop their in-fighting and come up with decent policies
to attract voters. A win at the next election will require
more work on his part.

Dear SM,

I'm sorry you feel that way. But I guess that's to be
expected.

Cheers.
