A list of seats Labor was going to lose, including Maxine McKew's & Kate Ellis'

From Andrew Bolt: The internal Labor polling that brought down Rudd (actual figures withheld on request) showed a wipeout on the way: Labor-held marginals: Macarthur - huge loss Macquarie - big loss Swan - huge loss Corangamite - big loss Hasluck - huge loss Bass - narrow retain Bennelong - big loss, Bye bye, Maxine Robertson - big loss Solomon - big loss Gilmore - huge loss Herbert - huge loss Deakin - narrow retain Longman - big loss Eden Monaro - big loss Flynn - big loss Page - narrow loss Dawson - huge loss Braddon - retain Forde - loss Franklin - retain Brisbane - retain Dobell - either way Leichhardt - huge loss Petrie - either way Kingston - big loss Hindmarsh- loss Adelaide - loss. The photogenic Kate Ellis. Wakefield- loss Makin - retain Coalition marginals Bowman - Lib win McEwan - Labor win (Fran Bailey retired) Patterson - Lib win La Trobe - Lib win Cowan - Lib win Dickson - Labor win (Peter Dutton’s dithering.) Hinkler - Lib win Hughes - Lib win Sturt - Lib win Ryan - Labor win (that sacked idiot Michael Johnson) Cowper - Lib win Stirling - Lib win Labor’s net loss of seats predicted under Rudd: 18. And that’s presuming all the 50-50 contests went his way. Comfortable Liberal win. UPDATE LABOR party polling shows Julia Gillard is “miles ahead’’ of Kevin Rudd as preferred leader… The internal polling has been done across the key marginal seats that Labor will need to hold in the next federal election. Sources within the party said things are looking “catastrophic’’ for the Prime Minister… “Voters are turning off Kevin in a very personal way, not just on the issues.’’
