		Malcolm Mackerras has been on this one for a while: that Bennelong is increasingly a marginal seat and if it looks sufficiently dodgy, Howard will resign, rather than risk the ignominy of losing his seat.
		Malcolm also points out that Queensland is due for another electoral redistribution, gaining another seat due to its ongoing population growth.
		There is also a plausible scenario in which the redistribution sees Bennelong shift in a more Liberal direction: say, if it were to shift eastwards, over the “natural” boundary of the Lane Cove into what is currently in the division of Bradfield.
