LNP candidate Ken O’Dowd had a nail-biting 10-day wait to claim victory in Flynn at the 2016 Federal Election, narrowly downing ALP candidate Zac Beers – who is running again at this year’s poll – on the back of postal votes

April 11, 2019

In case you hadn’t noticed … there’s a Federal Election on the way!

And, as tipped by southburnett.com.au back on March 27, it’s going to be held on May 18.

The race between the ALP, Liberals, Nationals and a host of minor parties has prompted bookies to start forming markets ahead of the big day.

And – as their money is on the line – the bookies are possibly better than pollsters when it comes to picking results.

Online bookmaker Sportsbet has announced odds for all 151 seats.
