More on Gilmore – and who knows what’s happening there

The press conference Peter Dutton abandoned due to nuke protests was in the seat of Gilmore, on the NSW south coast, narrowly held by Labor.

Our new report out today (!!) shows that just 28 journalists live in Gilmore, making home to less journos than 100 electorates out of 150.

It ranks alongside Flinders and Monash (both Vic) and just above Peter Dutton’s electorate of Dickson.

Our report shows that few journalists are based in regional and outer suburban areas, making it hard to cover an election that is supposedly fought in these electorates.
