The Mackerras federal election pendulum, 2006 (by Malcolm Mackerras ) shows the state of the major political parties ahead of the 2007 Australian federal election . The table shows seats in the Australian House of Representatives arranged in the form of a Mackerras Pendulum based on their 2004 federal election two-party preferred result. Some seats in New South Wales and Queensland underwent a redistribution in 2006, their margins have been recalculated due to this.
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.
Another version can be viewed at Federal LH Pendulum .
