LIBS FACE HARD TRUTHS IN BOOTHS
COMMANDING margins at voting booths that have previously favoured the Liberals have delivered Corangamite Labor MP Libby Coker another three-year term in federal parliament.
Voting data from the Australian Electoral Commission lifts the lid on Ms Coker’s resounding win, and success over Liberal
Stephanie Asher at Armstrong Creek East (1321, 582); Torquay pre-polling (8588, 5645); and Leopold LINC stadium (1666, 1116).
Even polling places the Liberal faithful were banking on delivering for Ms Asher turned toward Ms Coker, including Surfside Primary School, Ocean Grove (1298, 724); Point Lonsdale (750, 597); Portarlington (839, 736); and Barwon Heads (930, 648).
A scan of voting data shows Ms Asher prevailed in Ceres, 295 two-candidate preferred votes to Ms Coker’s 270, and at Moriac (388, 363). Ms Coker also won majorities at Drysdale, Inverleigh and St Leonards.
