Labor can, in part, thank Sydney's west for its surge to form majority government for the first time in 12 years, after reclaiming several seats in the area.
Camden, East Hills, Parramatta, and Riverstone were lost by Labor in 2011, Holsworthy in 2015, and Penrith in 2010, but are now back red after Chris Minns' romped to power on Saturday night.
"I think we always have to acknowledge government do good things, they were riding a wave, there was a wave across Australia at that time, but now we are in a time where things are more challenging. Parramatta hosted Liberal leader Dominic Perrottet and Mr Minns more than any other electorate since the campaign officially began on March 3.
"What we did was made it more competitive in that area. Labor has historically not taken those areas seriously," she said.Labor's Tri Vo is on track to retain Cabramatta, despite a swing of more htan 7 per cent against him.
