The Prime Minister has held her seat - with about 75% of the vote.

I seem to remember during your last elections that the Liberals pulled a good number of seats closer to the end of voting. I hope the West comes through this year.

Western Australia is likely to go more our way than Labor - so the margin at that point matters a lot.

Perth should to. Not much different than the States where the Dems get their votes from the large cities with rural areas being conservative.

Hard to say.
All used to be members of the conservative parties and went independent for different reasons.
Which is more important to them? Their overall conservatism - or the reasons they left?

that 76 is based on probabilities but smith looks like they will lose 4 of those, so lab down to 72.

If the breakdown works as predicted and those 3 remain solid in principle, it may work out well for Conservatives. Gridlock is a good possibility if 1 person can be swayed away.
I’m a bit surprised though, I thought Abbott had a good chance of winning, albeit by a small margin.

Basically lots of waffling - nobody seems to be able to make any type of overall call.
