Two-Party-Preferred Statistics 1998

Northern Territory

The Northern Territory is one of the most closely-fought contests in every Federal election. Won narrowly by the ALP in 1998, with a swing of less than 1%, the seat is always one of the last to be decided.

In 2001, the Northern Territory will be abolished and replaced by two new seats, Solomon and Lingiari.

Based on 1998 figures, Lingiari is an ALP seat with a margin of 3.7%, whilst Solomon would be won by the coalition with a margin of 2.3%.
