Got your attention!
Below are the three States seats that are in and around Mount Druitt suburbs, that lists names of suburbs, with where the polling places are. The idiocy that gets me personally, is Mount Druitt state seat does not cover all of the Mount Druitt suburbs. I understand the electoral boundaries are determined by demographic of populations and finalised by the NSW Electoral Commission.
Years ago, I heard that the west part of Mount Druitt was to prop up the Labor votes in Londonderry as that needed more votes, to get their candidates in. So suburbs like Tregear, Lethbridge Park, Emerton, Ropes Crossing, Whalan and Wilmot are not in the Mount Druitt seat. I'm sure this happens in safe Liberal/National Party seats as well, as pockets of suburbs suddenly move into the electorate, to make it safer or marginal. These suburbs are part of the Londonderry seat, which is really a northern NSW State seat of Penrith.
My feelings thoughts are not politically against any party or government. It seems practical that suburbs like that make suburbs fit into seats based on Local Government boundaries as follows:
- Suburbs such as Tregear, Lethbridge Park, Emerton, Ropes Crossing, Whalan and Wilmot slot back into Mount Druitt
- Suburbs that are Based in Liverpool & Fairfield Cities in Mulgoa are moved out of Mulgoa State Seat and this seat becomes the south seat of Penrith. Suburbs like Austral, Bossley Park
- Move Marsden Park, Stonecutters Ridge and Dean Park into Blacktown Electorate
- Londonderry, could then be a St Marys/North Penrith Seat incorporating seats suburbs based in Penrith LGA, Penrith remaining as Penrith and Mulgoa as South Penrith
Withe the 2nd Sydney International Airport being constructed in Badgerys Creek, population status may change for future elections. Main issues with the electorates are the Incinerator proposal, traffic congestion in the area, which means, we should be promoting more public transport, better hospitals and waiting times. Mount Druitt is getting an upgraded Police Station as promised in last State Election.
My prediction of results to the 3 seats we have will be the 3 sitting members of Parliament will retain their seats. Mount Druitt - Hon. Edmond Atalla holds seat by a comfortable majority of 15.4%, Lodonderry - Hon. Prue Car by 8.8% and Mulgoa - Hon. Tanya Davies by 9.7%. My prediction is based on a so close election, yet that can change with polling on 23rd March 2019.
So belief it or not, there is a NSW State election going on and it is going to be held on the 23rd March 2019. It is a compulsory election and like every election important to us.
