Who knows. The rule of thumb over the past 18 months has been that governments are being returned handsomely due to the pandemic - this is only a thing tested at the state level. Western Australia's government was returned with a massive majority (only 3 opposition MPs in the lower house AFAIK), QLD and TAS returned handsome majorities too (WA & QLD = Labor, TAS = Liberal).
Dunno about NSW - the exceptionalism they've sought to praise themselves with has really seen the shine come off them over the past 4 weeks re: Delta outbreak that as of today/time of posting, they've had the largest number of cases in a day.
Business tends to always favour Liberals (Liberals = party of capital, Labor = party of workers, traditionally) but even they're starting to see through the piss and wind the NSW PR machine has been pumping out since their last lockdown.
Pretty sure the Libs won't make any in-roads in Victoria at the Federal level - way too much animosity due to treatment over pandemic response starting from our big second wave last year.
