The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has released its 2009 Report of the Redistribution Committee outlining proposed New South Wales electoral redistribution.
Here on the NSW North Coast the AEC proposal is to leave Richmond electorate unchanged, reduce the total number of electors in Cowper by 256, with the Page electorate picking up these 256 Elland voters as well as 1,094 voters in the area north-east of Amosfield, Sandy Hills and Ewingar State Forest in Tenterfield LGA from the Division of New England .
Lyne electorate will see the entire Gloucester Local Government Area transferred into its boundaries but otherwise remain unchanged.

I expect the Labour vote in Richmond and Page to increase in the next election, given the pathetic performnce of Turnbull lately and the poosibilty, as expressd by Abbott recently, that Workchoices could almost certainly be revisited under a Liberal government. Those ratbags just never learn!
