    Dawson is in play according to ABC Radio.

    Labor wins that, Labor wins everything.

    Shopping list:

    Bennelong to Labor, for obvious reasons.

    Canning to Labor, because I dislike Don Randall.

    Hasluck to Labor, cos I used to live there.

    My God!!! A swing of 14.5% to the Nationals according to Antony’s site!! What is the world coming to?

    Ok, now that we’ve got the stupid posting based on minimal data, can we wait for some sizeable data to come through? We’re not going to predict an outcome from Calare, are we?
