See original article

Key Predictions

Betting markets strongly predict a Labor victory in the 2025 Australian federal election, with a Labor majority being the most likely outcome. This contrasts with the 2019 election where Bill Shorten was initially favored but ultimately lost.

Seat Projections

Specific seat predictions include the Coalition potentially regaining Ryan, but losing Cowper and Bradfield, and facing challenges in several key seats.

  • Labor is favored to win several key seats, potentially offsetting losses.
  • Close races are anticipated in several constituencies, including Bullwinkel and Gilmore.

Market Shifts

Prediction markets have shown a significant shift towards Labor, with some predicting a 95% chance of Albanese's victory following the March 25 budget.

Future Leadership

Betting markets also point to Angus Taylor as a likely successor to the Liberal leadership, while Jim Chalmers is favored to succeed Albanese as Prime Minister.
