Gary Blackwood’s office has told the Warragul & Baw Baw Citizen the Liberal MP expects to retain Narracan despite a small swing against him.
A spokesperson said despite a notional post-redistribution majority of 16 per cent, up from 12.4 per cent at the last election, they were expecting a 12 per cent majority.
