Analysis: While NSW is always crucial to federal elections because of its sheer size, this election it will be even more so because of its high share of marginal Labor seats

ALP holds a total of 19 federal electorates by 5 per cent or less and 10 of them are in NSW.Advertisement

A Liberal party insider who has a close understanding of NSW seats, but who cannot speak publicly under party rules, said the state was critical to victory. “The problem the Liberals face is that they have to hold every seat in NSW but also pick up one from Labor.” Despite the focus on NSW, the state division of the Liberal Party only finalised candidates in the days before the election was called. AAsked whether he thought this would hurt the federal government’s re-election chances, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said “not substantially”. However, it meant that many Liberal candidates have very little time to campaign, while some of their opponents had been in the field for months.

The Liberals will be eyeing Greenway where the growth of new, relatively wealthy suburbs in the north of the electorate has been favourable for the party.In neighbouring Parramatta , Labor will lose the strong personal vote of long-term member Julie Owens, who is retiring. The party’s new candidate for Parramatta,, was an economic adviser to Kevin Rudd when he was prime minister, and currently lives in the wealthy eastern suburbs.

To many mistakes made by both Federal and State Govts with the Selection process many voters are put off already and the Race Issue on Morrison seat of Cook will turn the voters away

Allegra Spender a quality candidate with her own achievements, impressive track record, yet the only thing you give her credit for is who her mother is I'd like to think my subscription paid for a better quality of journalism. A Labor voter in the Hunter can find it but you can't

You reckon NSW ICAC and Domicron plus Flood payment debacles are a winner? MorrisonLies

Idiots. There are very few Labor marginal seats in NSW. Who writes this tripe
