TPP is the AEC’s Labor–Coalition measure even where those parties were not the final two candidates. It must not be substituted for TCP.

Compare with 2025

Salamander in 2025 has the same AEC polling-place ID.

The ID, name, electorate and address match, and coordinates are within 100 metres. This supports a location comparison, not a claim that the same people voted. Redistribution can still alter the surrounding electorate; candidates and parties can change.

Labor TPP: 54.33% in 2025 and 50.00% in 2022; -4.33 percentage points (2022 minus 2025). Each uses that election’s formal-vote denominator.

Use each election’s candidate tables for first preferences and TCP; differing candidate pairs are not a continuous candidate series.
