Hearing there's silly stuff about #nswvotes being a "landslide". Crazy example from yesterday pm (by which time majority was already unclear):
" Barry O’Farrell defeated Kristina Keneally in a landslide victory similar to Saturday’s."

2011: 64.2% 2PP, 32 govt seats lost, 16.5% swing, 45 seat majority
2023: (approx) 54% 2PP, 12-3 govt seats lost, 6% swing, 1 to 3 seat minority

I was not even looking for this, I found it by accident while looking for next Liberal leader speculation.
Media: "DON'T TRUST THE POLLS THIS ELECTION WILL BE VERY CLOSE!"
<Election is lopsided in some respects but vaguely close in others>

On 2PP at least five and a fair chance of six of the 11 prior elections under OPV have been less close than this one. Four saw bigger swings (in two cases to loser).
