Kelly positive about chances in key seat

The man hoping to win back the bellwether seat of Eden-Monaro for Labor says he is getting a positive feeling from the electorate on his travels.

A Newspoll analysis suggests the Liberal-held seat, which is bigger than 66 countries in the world, could fall to Labor at the July 2 election.

"We feel we're deeply in touch with the feelings and needs and desires of this community and I think that's something they've been missing for the last few years," Mike Kelly told reporters on the ACT/NSW border.
