The May poll will concentrate attention on at least five Sydney electorates considered a decent chance of changing hands | JakeSaulwick
The most marginal of the Liberal seats at risk is Banks, which hugs the north of the Georges Rivers between Kogarah and Bankstown in southern Sydney – an area that has increasingly tended to vote conservative in state and federal elections.
Member for Banks David Coleman having a closely watched lunch with Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Hurstville."The demographics along the Georges River are changing without a doubt," said Mr Coure. Mr Coleman’s challenger in Banks, Chris Gambian, agreed the profile of the electorate was changing, but not that it had become more receptive to the Liberal Party.
Although it is difficult to translate results from state elections to federal races, Mr Crosby said he was "heartened" by a general 3 per cent swing to state Labor in areas intersecting with Reid.
