News Corp is revealing the state of play in ten marginal seats that will decide whether Scott Morrison or Bill Shorten is Australia’s next prime minister.
The latest polling from ten crucial seats across the country is being revealed today.
Every hour, on the hour from 10am in the eastern states (9.30am Adelaide time), News Corp will publish the results of an exclusive YouGov Galaxy poll from one of the ten seats.
Both major parties say it’s going to be a “very close” election and Mr Morrison has called on independents to declare who they would support in the event of a hung parliament.
It’s also expected both sides will unleash a massive advertising campaign in the final frantic days to sway undecided voters.
The ten seats include:
10am: Flynn (Qld) - LNP candidate’s timely surge ahead of Labor
11am: Macquarie (NSW) - Labor extends lead in Macquarie
Midday: La Trobe (Vic) - Melbourne seat on a knife’s edge
1pm: Forde (Qld) - Both parties are neck and neck
2pm: Reid (NSW) - Close contest for seat of Reid
3pm: Higgins (Vic) - Big hit to the Coalition
4pm: Herbert (Qld) - Herbert locked in a tough battle
5pm: Gilmore (NSW) - Mundine set to lose Gilmore
6pm: Deakin (Vic) - How Deakin could spell trouble
7pm: Dickson (Qld) - Dickson result set to go down to the wire
At this stage, the latest Newspoll shows the Coalition is on track to pick up marginal seats in NSW and Queensland on Saturday but Labor remains likely to win government.
A whopping 3.48 million Australians have voted already in pre-polls, according to the Australian Electoral Commission.
