The Sturt electorate is truly an electorate of two halves. The posh southern half and the working family northern half. While Labor's excellent candidate Mia Handshin did very very well in the northern half, the blue rinse set in Burnside and Beaumont held the seat for Chris Pyne. My guess is that Pyne's increased profile in the current term plus a small swing away from the government in the working family demographic (the only way is down, really) will again hold the seat for Pyne. Sturt has only once been a Labor seat - 1969 to 1972. That's right, Labor lost the seat at the "It's Time" election.
