Melbourne's newest neighbourhood "Docklands" and the addition of 5,000 new voters in the Melbourne Federal electorate will save Melbourne from a Green challenge.
Despite effort by the media to talk up the Greens chances of winning Melbourne, Melbourne's newest resident's are expected to give the Liberal Party the edge relegating the Greens to third place and out of contention to win the seat of Melbourne
Dockland resident's and Melbourn'a first time voters are expected to favour the Liberal Party boosting the Liberal Party's vote over 25%.
In 2007 the Liberal Party polled a primary vote of 23.5%, 610 votes ahead of the Greens who only polled 22.8%. After preferences the Liberal Party fell short by 591 votes a margin of 0.67% in a head to head contest against the Greens.
Game over.

A margin of error: ABC misleads the electorate
The ABC breakfast program has demonstrated a lack of professionalism by publishing false and misleading information by claiming a contest between the ALP and the Greens.
In 2007
The Australian Labor Party in 2007 had a primary vote of 43,363 (49.51%)
The Greens 19,967 (22.8%)
The Liberal Party polled 20,577 (23.49%)
After distribution of preferences The Greens only managed to out poll the Liberal Party by a margin of 591 (0.67%) following the distribution of Democrats preferences.
The Contest is not between the ALP and the Greens 4% margin but between the Greens and the Liberal Party 0.67% margin.
The Greens also had the so called "Donkey" Vote which represents 1.5% of the electorate
The ABC did not interview the Liberal Party Candidate.
