ABC website giving Hawthorn as a Labor gain.

Was he in a retirement village
Malvern has never been outside the Liberal's control.It is amazing Labor have won Hawthorn.
Not sure a less Labor seat exists - there isn't even a pocket of deplorables for the people of Hawthorn to worry about
I think that is a misreading of the result, seats like Albert Park and Prahran are trending towards the Liberals, but we need to remember that this election was a perfect storm of a good performing state government with the shitstorm over the change in leader from Turnbull to Morrison. Prahran has long been two halves, the northern half (South Yarra) has traditionally been more conservative voting than the southern half (Prahran/Windsor) with the seat being more Liberal than Malvern. Hawthorn's demographics are not changing as much as the Liberals want to make out, Hawthorn has long had a large renter population and just as we saw across a number of seats, the booths that recorded the largest swings were the more established wealthier booths, the Liberals were smashed by their electoral base.
Malvern has never been outside the Liberal's control.
Even it has Chadstone - remarkably closer to working class than Canterbury
Yep, the wealthiest leafiest booths swung the most 10% or more, the overall now being closer to areas where apartments have sprung up
Apartment blocks could have over ten times the density by the way
A majority of apartments across Hawthorn would date from the last century mostly 1960s and 70s. There have been a few new apartments built and they are generally more expensive than the older blocks.
Nah. Canberra was a factor, if it was purely state issues seats like urwood, Hawthorn, etc wouldn't have flippedFortunately for The Federal Liberal Party <spit> this was only due to State issues
I wish the VEC would conduct full preference distribution counts in seats like Footscray and Williamstown, which are really Labor - Green contests and not Labor - Liberal. This would show Labor true margin of victory.
In Footscray Labor won 2PP 78/22. In a 3CP count, Greens finish second and in the true 2CP count, Labor probably beat the Greens 70/30 or 65/35.
You missed his sarcasm I suspect.Nah. Canberra was a factor, if it was purely state issues seats like urwood, Hawthorn, etc wouldn't have flipped
OK I get where you are coming from now. I thought that the most recent VEC update had included full preference distributions (as per the tweet) but you are correct that seats decided on first preferences still don't have preference distribution other than Labor/LNP.I am not sure how that relates to my previous post.
The VEC doesn't perform preference distribution if one candidate wins 50% of the primary votes (as happened in Williamstown and Footscray).
They do an indicative 2PP Labor - Liberal count. But this doesn't tell you what the true margin of victory in these seats, as they are really Labor - Green 2CP contests.

Two-party preferred swing to Labor in the six south-east rail seats (Bentleigh to Bass ) was 9.3%!!!
I remember watchin the ABC 2010 election coverage. Daniel Andrews was the Labor representative. He was fat with an arrogant demeanour, failing to put a positive spin on Labour's loss. He wasn't even considered a potential leader to replace John Brumby at the time. Now he's the Premier of Victoria having just won a second election. Wow.
