NATIONALS’ candidate Adrian Piccoli will go into tomorrow’s New South Wales election the hot favourite for Murray in the safe conservative seat.
The current sitting member for Murrumbidgee and deputy leader of the Nationals in NSW, he is leading the pack by an estimated 30 percent margin based on previous elections in the region.
Murray is an electorate covering 13 percent of the state and one of two in western New South Wales — the other is Barwon, covering 44 percent of the state.
But, by population, together the two electorates have just 111,000 people enrolled.
The wide swing to the Nationals has seen three independent candidates raise their hand for Murray in the 2015 election, along with a Greens, Country Labor, No Land Tax and Christian Democratic Party representative.
