[edit] "The Liberals won McMillan from Labor."

Even though it was statistically marginally Liberal at the election, the said seat was held by a Labor member until the election. While that would not be a statistical gain, it was a physical gain. Xtra 01:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

In that case they did not win Wakefield, since Wakefield had a sitting Liberal member. You can't have it both ways. You either take the redistribution into account (in which case they did win Wakefield but did not win McMillan), or you ignore the redistribution (in which case vice versa).
