The NSW Labor Party lost regions once considered impregnable as vast swathes of western Sydney, the Illawarra, Central Coast and the Hunter Valley switched to the Liberal-Nationals Coalition.
The Coalition picked up a string of seats in western Sydney, including the urban-rural fringe seats of the Blue Mountains, Londonderry, Wollondilly and Camden, Riverstone in Sydney’s outer north-west, Mulgoa in the outer west, Campbelltown, Parramatta and Smithfield.
