Since yesterday’s update, we’ve had little new information in Lismore, but more substantial counting has taken place in the key seats of East Hill, Gosford and The Entrance. Labor now holds a slim lead in The Entrance, and the Liberal Party has taken a 20-vote lead in Gosford. It also appears that the Liberal Party’s lead in East Hills is now too big to be overcome.
Lismore
| NAT | NAT % | GRN | GRN % | ALP | ALP % | |
| Counted so far | 18,732 | 42.76% | 11,490 | 26.23% | 11,252 | 25.68% |
| Projected | 20,800 | 42.31% | 13,052 | 26.55% | 12,612 | 25.66% |
| Projected 2CP | 22,024 | 49.42% | 22,541 | 50.58% |
A small extra batch of postal votes were added in Lismore, and while these votes favoured the Nationals they didn’t do so as strongly as expected, so my projection has cut the Nationals lead by a small amount.
We don’t have any more information about how preferences will flow, but I’m hoping for tomorrow night’s edition to be able to use a preference flow based on actual scrutineer data.
East Hills
| ALP | ALP % | LIB | LIB % | Exhausted | |
| Counted so far | 17,618 | 48.93% | 18,386 | 51.07% | 2,787 |
| Projected | 22,770 | 49.39% | 23,328 | 50.61% | 3,185 |
A large batch of votes have been added, which have extended the Liberal lead from 352 votes to 768 votes.
While the ALP should claw back some votes, the Liberal Party is on track for a 558-vote victory on current projections. On these numbers, it seems that the Liberal Party has won East Hills.
A problem with my formula meant that the previous figures were slightly incorrect.
Gosford
| ALP | ALP % | LIB | LIB % | Exhausted | |
| Counted so far | 20,625 | 49.98% | 20,645 | 50.02% | 4,053 |
| Projected | 22,343 | 49.58% | 22,721 | 50.42% | 4,618 |
With the first absentee votes counted, Liberal MP Chris Holstein has taken the lead in Gosford, by a slim 20 votes.
We are still expecting a distribution of preferences for 244 declared institution votes, and expecting over 4000 other votes, the majority of which are absentee votes.
If the remaining absentee and postal votes favour Holstein in the same proportions as those counted so far, he should expand his lead to 378 votes, but if the samples so far prove to be Liberal-friendly, the seat could still be in play.
The Entrance
| ALP | ALP % | LIB | LIB % | Exhausted | |
| Counted so far | 20,402 | 50.12% | 20,308 | 49.88% | 3,088 |
| Projected | 23,873 | 49.56% | 24,299 | 50.44% | 3,842 |
Pre-poll votes in The Entrance have now been completed, with the first batches of postal and absentee votes also counted.
Labor’s lead has narrowed from 402 votes to 94 votes. The projection is now projecting a 426-vote lead for the Liberal candidate, compared to a three-vote lead yesterday.
It looks like those who want Labor to retake Gosford should consider praying for divine assistance! To access some background on Gosford Council, Holsteins political kindergarten.

Enrolement Vote count has hurt both Liberal Candidates, putting the ALP back in front in Gosford and extending the lead in the Entrance. Both Liberal candidates there need another solid stream of Absentee and Postal Votes to come in. May not be enough for the Entrance but I maintain that Gosford will go to a re-count and scrutineering will become absolutely critical.
Where are we on the Lismore count? Do you still project the Greens to nab the seat?
Frankly, I think East Hills was always a Lib hold(but I was gagged). Gosford will go to Libs and The Entrance will be Labor. I can’t see the Nats losing Lismore. And the Libs will win the last LC seat.
The mid south and southwest Sydney are changing. Newtown was always a green gain.
@Pseph, today’s post has changed the preference projections to be more favourable to the Nationals.
