However, it is still notionally very safe labor with a margin of 16.5% two party preferred. Cunningham has expanded northwards to cover the Royal National Park, including Bundeena and Heathcote. Still notionally very safe labor with a margin of 17%. Most interesting of all is Gilmore. It has expanded northwards to include parts of Shellharbour and is now notionally a labor seat with a margin of 0.2%! JGash may be on the way out. Green preferences could be very important in deciding the outcome. All this means that at the next election the Illawarra Greens will have to travel further, coordinate many more booths and run a campaign which includes more rural issues. But, the people of the Shoalhaven and Southern Illawarra will receive full marginal seat attention from both parties.
