Three-horse races and optional preferential voting making calling seats ahead of Saturday’s state election a risky wager
Michael Regan, the independent running for theseat of Wakehurst, has told staff he wants his to be the first seat called by the ABC’s election analyst, Antony Green, on Saturday night.
There are a group of independents contesting seats around Sydney, with most concentrated on the north shore. Insiders believe Regan has the best chance of success. On the northern beaches, like every where else in the state, cost of living is an important issue. But Regan says the topics that ignite passions among its residents – and which can be fixed – are closer to home.
Some but not all are backed by Climate 200, the climate lobby group that supported a number of federal independents in 2022.
