Run 29:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:48 / km)
Monday night run from Todd's place, at which I was the only non-Neve present, following an afternoon when I wasted far too much time pressing F5 on the Indi results page. Possibly a record short Monday run (both in time and distance) - no-one wanted to do too much after the race yesterday. Spent some time explaining the finer points of how it's possible to convert 0.22% into a Senate seat.
Starting to do a bit more of what I do best with the election, crunch numbers. Contrary to expectations, western Sydney barely swung at all (if you define western Sydney as starting at Parramatta as I do; I'm aware that there are some who define it as starting at Glebe), about 0.3% on average. The one seat lost, Lindsay, was one the Liberals should have won last time had they selected a better candidate (as Greenway demonstrated, if you want to win a marginal seat, it's a good idea to find a candidate with an IQ higher than the percentage margin of the seat you're trying to win). There were much larger swings in general in middle-ring suburbs then outer ones, both in Sydney and Melbourne (western Melbourne was a bit of an exception, but some of that was the loss of the personal votes of Julia Gillard and Nicola Roxon).
