The commission also published its estimate of the two-party-preferred vote in the three ACT seats following the redistribution, based on the 1993 result, not the by-election vote, which the commission ignores for redistribution assessments.
Namadgi is 60.79 per cent ALP and 39.21 per cent Liberal; Fraser is 62.06-37.94 and Canberra is 60.81-39.19. In 1993 the figures were: Fraser 62.81-37.19 and Canberra 59.56-40.44. The ACT total in both cases is 61.19-38.81.
Notionally the redistribution converts one safe Labor and one fairly safe Labor seats in 1993 (ignoring the by-election) to three safe Labor seats for the next election. Fraser becomes slightly less safe for Labor and Canberra under the new name Namadgi becomes slightly safer for Labor.
