This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Timeshift9 (talk | contribs) at 04:42, 9 September 2007 (fix wording regarding redistribution in 2006 (if redistribs occured in anywhere but QLD or NSW (i dont think they did) please correct this)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The Mackerras federal election pendulum, 2006 shows the state of the major political parties ahead of the Australian general election, 2007. The table shows seats in the Australian House of Representatives arranged in the form of a Mackerras Pendulum based on their 2004 two-party preferred result. Some seats in New South Wales and Queensland underwent a redistribution in 2006, their margins have been recalculated as a result.

MPs shown in italics are not contesting the 2007 election. Gwydir, held by John Anderson for the Nationals, was abolished in the last redistribution and is not shown. Notionally government-held seats are shown on the left. Other seats are shown on the right.
