PM's seat in weakest position

The Australian.com.au

Therefore I can inform readers of a unique feature of this election. It is the first time that a prime minister is contesting the median seat. There is no case of a prime minister contesting a seat weaker for his party than the median seat.

Malcolm Mackerras points out that no PM in history has been in a weaker position in his own seat than John Howard is today In Bennelong.
