Reported at michaelwest.com.au: Latest polling indicates that the coalition is projected to win 73 seats in the House of Representatives, positioning Peter Dutton as a potential future prime minister, while Labor is forecasted to secure 66 seats, potentially becoming the first single-term federal government since 1931.

The coalition would need to persuade just two out of eleven crossbenchers for support to form a government, though Dutton expresses scepticism about winning over independent voters.

Voter sentiment in working-class outer suburbs suggests Labor may lose seats, but their losses could be partially mitigated by gains from the Greens and an independent candidate.
