The latest YouGov Galaxy poll shows the major parties in NSW are neck-and-neck ahead of Saturday's state election, opening up the likelihood of a hung parliament. The poll, published in the Daily Telegraph, shows the major parties deadlocked at 50-50 on a two-party preferred basis.
The result indicates the Berejiklian will lose six seats, forcing her to rely on independents in order to govern, while Labor will need to win 13 seats in order to regain power in its own right. The two leaders will go head-to-head tonight, with Sky News Political Editor David Speers moderating the Sky News People's Forum LIVE from Western Sydney University at 8:00pm AEDT.
