Canterbury

Current MP: Linda Burney (ALP), since 2003. She is the Minister of Community Services, and was the first Aboriginal MP in NSW.
Federal electorates covered by: Watson/Grayndler
Margin: ALP by 27.1%
Candidates: Linda Burney is running again. Liberal candidate is Ken Nam, who contested Watson in the federal electorate and got a nice swing towards him.
Demographics: Nothing really special, it is ranked 7th in the NESB rankings, but unlike some seats the migrants tend to be across the board.
Observation: This seat is still safe for Labor and it is hard to see if that will change in this election.
Prediction: Labor retain
