Kalgoorlie - Labor will win if the Libs remain in the 2CP, but slight chance Nats overtake them. Kalamunda - Libs ahead by 64 votes.20 Mar 2025 22:28 +0000at://did:plc:dpvekxee4krpqq2pqqo7unym/app.bsky.feed.post/3lktqnmtkec2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/maggieperry.bsky.social/post/3lkkbxemgrs2iAt this point, I think we can call Port Macquarie for the Liberals. The Nationals last gained a seat in *2013* in NSW (state level), and since then they've lost multiple to independents, some to Labor, 1 to the Greens, and now 1 to the Liberals as well.
