some places everyone doorknocks, like the seat of Sydney - despite the
huge Labor majority there is a 50% churn rate annually in residents,
including students as we are in the centre of 3 Unis, Sydney, UTS, NSW,
and have 18% of the Gay, Lesbian & Transgender people from all of
Australia, a substantial Greek population, and other groupings.

a good campaign can switch the substantive vote of a grouping en masse,
and all the parties know it, and are fighting hard - getting some of
that tasty upper house vote could help with senators, too.

so expect all the candidates to be wearing out shoe leather here!
