On paper, Wallsend is the safest Labor seat but the margin doesn’t mean much when there’s competition from One Nation. The suburbs west and north of Wallsend (the suburb) have lots of ‘red One Nation’ voters – traditionally working-class, blue-collar Labor voters who could swing to One Nation. The eastern suburbs are less likely to swing to One Nation as they have more young voters, white-collar professionals, public servants and uni students.
