      Or Amelia Hamer, the fake renter in Kooyong. Or the cashed-up Andrew Lethlean in Bendigo.

      Even if all the other in-doubt seats go to the LNP, I hope these three sats don’t.

    “In Danger” means “Seat in doubt”. Nobody knows, it’s all speculation.
    Antony Green even this afternoon still thinks Adam is in there with a shot. Although he’s gone from “I think he’ll retain it” even as recently as yesterday to “Too close to call” this afternoon.

    It’s been a fascinating seat to watch though. This is all because Melbourne’s electoral lines were redrawn in October:

    They took away Fitzroy North and Clifton Hill and gave him South Yarra and part of Prahan instead. This has done fairly predictable things to his votes.

    After stalling positive environmental legislation all last year, probably for the best.

    Let something good through, even if it’s not good enough. Something is better than nothing.

        It’s also important that the legislation survives a Liberal government, and can’t be used as a campaign point by the Liberal government to win election (see 2013).

        I have a vague wish that The Greens one day are able to form a majority government. Not because I’m especially on their side, although I have been known to vote for them, but because I’d like Australia to say ‘Alright, you lot, let’s see how it goes when you run things.’ Why not? Could be funny, if nothing else.
