Mr Green says on current figures he predicts Labor winning 78 seats with a majority of six. On those figures he says he can make a cautious prediction of Labor forming a government.

Labor deputy leader Julia Gillard says the party is expecting to win five or six seats in Queensland, which would easily give labor the required number of seats for victory.

The ABC’s election computer is predicting Prime Minister John Howard will lose his seat of Bennelong to Labor’s Maxine McKew.

With almost 17 per cent of the vote counted, Ms McKew has a swing of more than 15 per cent and the computer is predicting a two-party preferred result of 52.2 per cent for the Labor candidate and former ABC journalist.

Barring a turnaround, Mr Howard is facing the prospect of becoming the first Prime Minister since 1929 to lose his seat.

The last was Stanley Bruce who, like Mr Howard, fought an election campaign dominated by industrial relations issues.

However Liberal Senator Nick Minchin says there are still 5,000 postal votes to be counted for Bennelong.

He says the area they will come from is a strong one for the Liberals, and he is hopeful those postal votes will bring a swing back to Mr Howard.

“It’s not looking good, but I would point out that postal votes are going to play an interesting role in this election,” he said.

“There were, on my count, 5,000 postal votes in Bennelong and based on the AEC’s estimates of where they’re coming from, they’re two-to-one in our favour, which on the face of it would give us a 1 per cent gain from postal votes.

“So the Labor Party, in my view, is going to need a swing of more than 5 per cent to believe it can win this.”

Labor need to win a net 16 seats to take government.

So far the ABC’s election computer has given Labor victory in nine seats formerly held by the Coalition. The computer also has Labor in a seat-winning victory in another Coalition-held seat.

In Eden-Monaro former military lawyer Mike Kelly has secured a 6 per cent swing against sitting member and Howard Government junior minister Gary Nairn with almost 35 per cent of the vote counted.

For the past 35 years the party that has won Eden-Monaro has won government.

Mr Kelly says he is very optimistic, but still thinks it is too early to celebrate.

“We’re feeling confident, but you can never be too confident in Eden-Monaro,” he said. “I don’t think you can pay too much attention to early figures in Eden-Monaro. It’s such a diverse electorate with varying booths.

“We’ll just have to track how it comes in over the evening and see where it is later on tonight.”

Counting has begun in Queensland and the Northern Territory but no meaningful figures are yet through.

Polls close in Western Australia at 8:00pm AEDT.

According to the ABC’s election computer, Labor has gained the seats of Bennelong, Braddon, Corangamite, Deakin, Dobell, Eden-Monaro, Lindsay, Page and Parramatta and Wakefield.

Deputy Labor leader Julia Gillard says the signs are good for Ms McKew but it is too early to call the result.

“I’m a very cautious sort and I always thought she was going to take it right down to the wire and I think we’ll see that tonight,” she said.

“It’s obviously a tough thing to do to unseat an incumbent prime minister, but one thing you can say about Maxine, there’s nothing that could’ve been done in that seat that hasn’t been done and been done well.

“And just on the question of people who used to be at the ABC, we have Mike Bailey running in North Sydney, now that requires a 10 per cent swing but we’re showing a 6 per cent swing there with 5 per cent counted.”

But Liberals Senator Nick Minchin is still predicting the swing to Labor in Bennelong will not be enough for Mr Howard to lose the seat to Ms McKew.

“I think we all admit that she’s a very good candidate,” he said. “She also has a very good campaign manager in [her partner] Bob Hogg who just happens to reside with her.

“I know Bob well and he’s a formidable campaigner. So John Howard and the rest of us know that he’s up against it with Maxine.

“I still think we’ll get there but we knew we were in for a fight.”

Web 2.0… what a wonder, or a blunder.

We have made a panel of people of what they think before the count is on. The questions we ask are not based on political ideas, but to see an outcome over the election. We will be asking a few people over our network, even some outsiders to give your ideas..

“If the Liberals win, do you think that John Howard will give the job to Peter Costello?“ Please give a full answer.

Jay Day – Editor of TECH.GEEK
John Howard will take another 3 years to retire, then he will hand it over to Mr. Costello after he retires.

Stewart Wilson – Editor of TECH.GEEK
Yes, Because John Howard has been rambling on about it for a while.

Alexander Ross – SRSSMS Networks
I think what John Howard will be not till 2009. Becuase John Howard love’s his job to much.

So, what do you think… Comment Today!!! We want to have your opinion about this.

Voters, according to the ABC, were given a leaflet promoting to place Labor’s candidate Arch Bevis last on the ballot paper. The leaflet was ‘approved’ by G Williams of Moggill Road.

Milton Dick, Queensland’s ALP state secretary have made an official complaint over to the Australian Electoral Commission.

“We believe that this sheet that is being handed out is unlawful, we think it should be withdrawn,” he said.

He also said that they approached backpackers to send out the leaflet to the voters.
