Seat, Last Name of ALP Candidate, Last Name of Lib Candidate
Blaxland, Clare, Khouri
Fowler, Hayes, Nguyen
Gilmore, Reilly, Sudmalis
Greenway, Rowland, Diaz
Coincidence?
Consequence of ethnic branch stacking leading to unsuitable candidates?
Or...?
Nationally,
of 16 seats swinging to the ALP, there was only one where an ALP
candidate with a less Anglo name beat a Lib candidate with a more Anglo
name. And that was:
Blair, Neumann, Harding

I saw one of the candidates (might have been Nguyen) complaining that the Lib campaign office gave them strict "shut up or be disendorsed" instructions, presumably to keep the focus at the national level on Abbott and Rudd. (Shame for him that Jaymz Diaz didn't listen to it, really).
I'm unknown now, Google Account? Really? After all we've been through?

Here we go, in the Guardian (but reported everywhere else I think)

Unknown!? Shocking :(
Yes, with Diaz it does seem they were stuffed either way...
