Nope. He's only got a swing of 6% at the moment so he'll fall short by 4%...

Roughly 7% swing to Libs at the moment.

Champion better sort out the sausage sizzle/cake stall infrastructure at Wakefield polling booths between now and the next election.

The Hon. Clive Palmer MP.

Palmer is a loonie but so are most Queenslanders so I can understand why he is doing so well

Shorten retained comfortably.

[Gozu]

Good to see the Coalition's win will be smaller than expected, the Greens retained Melbourne and the serious talent in the ALP all retained their seats. Not a bad night given the circumstances.

Clive Palmer leading in Fairfax, he'll do more damage to the Libs especially under parliamentary privilege than Labor could
