Canberra, where JA ran, went Labor: theage.com.au

“Covering just over three quarters of the ACT, this seat takes in the parts of the territory to the south of Lake Burley Griffin and the Molonglo River including the suburbs of Weston Creek, the Woden Valley and Tuggeranong and the industrial areas of Fyshwick and Hume. Residents of Norfolk Island are also enrolled in this division. Canberra has usually been held by Labor, but was won by the Liberal Party in the election that followed the 1975 dismissal of the Whitlam Government, and again twenty years later in a byelection following the resignation of Labor MP Ros Kelly over the “sports rorts” affair. Sitting MP Gai Brodtmann can be expected to campaign hard on Tony Abbott’s plans to reduce the size of the public service.”

Canberra is the Australian Capital Territory, and its demographic is generally more educated and younger than the largest cities, Sydney & Melbourne.

Nice to know people there have good sense. : )
