Lindsay is centred around Penrith and, along with neighbouring Macarthur - plus Hughes in Sydney's south - swung to the Liberals by over ten percent in 1996.

Hence the "Howard's battlers" story. But the demographics show that if these three are battling it's for that second four wheel drive. 

For actual battlers, with income and unemployment to match, try Fowler.
