Ep.141: Election Night Battleground Seats Guide - Labor’s Pathway to 76 - BONUS Episode

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser, Stephen Donnelly, was joined by a panel of political campaign experts including Lenda Oshalem, Elliot Stein, Linus Power MP, and David Feeney for this special Federal Election bonus episode to break down the key battleground seats that are Labor’s pathway to government.This is the form guide you will need for election night. What seats do Labor need to hold? What seats are Labor competitive in and will they flip it? Can Labor get to 76, and what is the path? And what are the issues shaping these campaigns and what is the word on the ground that gives us an insight into election night results.On this bonus final week episode, we have brought together Labor people with decades of campaign and machine politics experience to help us do the math in this monster episode. Starting in the premier state, Hawker Britton Director, Elliot Stein gives us the inside running on the seats Labor need to retain and gain in NSW. Former ALP Campaign Director David Feeney unpacks South Australia, Tasmania and the Massachusetts of Australian politics - Victoria. All eyes are on our comrades in the west, and former WA Labor Assistant Secretary Lenda Oshalem walks us through which seats Labor hopes to win back from the Libs. And finally we head to Brisbane and former ALP National Organiser Linus Power takes us through the complexity of Queensland politics and where Labor can finally make a dent into the conservative stranglehold in the sunshine state. This is the second last episode in our federal series in the lead up to E-Day, with the final (pre-election) campaign recap with David and Emma going live this Thursday night.The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
