NSW, Australia - Redistribution of State Electorates

[Smid]

I haven't looked at it, but I just saw the final boundaries have been published.

Antony Green says the margins are very similar to his estimated margins published previously.

Taken me a while, but here is the blank map:

And these are the notional margins, as estimated by Antony Green in his post, "2015 NSW Electoral Pendulum"

Obviously those maps are in the Gallery, for use by all and sundry.

Nathan Rees is in a bit of trouble...

Nathan Rees is in a bit of trouble...

He could run in Prospect, which took in the Southern part of his seat and is a marginal Liberal seat (1.1%, created mostly from the abolished Smithfield, which was 4.8% Liberal), in an election that was clearly a Liberal high-water mark. That's assuming he doesn't choose to retire... what's the status on NSW state parliamentarian superannuation entitlements?

Here was the primary vote winner by electorate, prior to the redistribution:

Here is the redistributed primary vote winner, following the redistribution:
