THE POLL BLUDGER MACKELLAR
Mackellar covers Sydney's northern beaches from Collaroy north to Palm Beach, extending inland to Duffys Forest and Frenchs Forest. Apart from the gain of 3000 voters at Dee Why from Warringah, it has not been affected by the redistribution. The seat has been extremely safe for the Liberals at all times since its creation in 1949, Labor's best performance being a 5.2 per cent defeat in 1972. The honour board for the seat reads: William Wentworth (1949-77), Jim Carlton (1977-94) and Bronwyn Bishop (1994-present). | |
