...predictable as the election seemed, few were prepared for the scale of the government's defeat. Labor had to capture 16 Coalition seats to win; at press time it had taken 24, with the outcome in five seats still in doubt. More shocking for the Coalition, Howard was hanging on by his fingernails to his northwestern Sydney seat of Bennelong - and appeared set to become the first Prime Minister since 1929 to be turned out of his own electorate...

While many assume Howard's status as Prime Minister will save him on his own northern Sydney seat even if the Government is defeated, others see it differently. "There's nothing special about Bennelong," says election analyst Antony Green. "If the Government falls, my view is that Bennelong will fall with it."
