Popular Labor MP Anthony Albanese has arrived at a Sydney school where he is due to vote in what he says is the tightest race he's fought for a while.
Plenty of young families and people in exercise gear and skinny jeans watched as the member for Grayndler made his way into the packed Annandale Public School on Saturday morning.
"The eight strongest Labor-voting booths have been removed from my electorate," he said, adding that the result in the contest against Greens candidate Jim Casey would be close.
After voting Mr Albanese made his way to a set of turntables where his alter ego, DJ Albo, took over and played Taylor Swift's Shake It Off to an excited crowd.
While fiddling dubiously with a sound mixer he busted into a little jig, with the crowd clapping and a woman yelling "Albo" during his short set.
Mr Casey, a secretary for the Fire Brigades Employees' Union in NSW, voted earlier in the day in nearby Stanmore.
He told AAP the redistributed Grayndler area now encompassed Greens heartland.
"A lot of the social movement we're drawn from and hope to give back to is based around here," Mr Casey said.
"It's been a big effort but it always is in these areas."
Mr Casey said he would fight to ensure the local Westconnex road project is halted and guaranteed strong policies to mitigate climate change.
Following his stint behind the turntable, Mr Albanese was quizzed about what would happen with the ALP leadership should the party lose the election.
But he dodged the question, staying on message and saying the entire party had been working hard and was united behind Bill Shorten.
He also took a swipe at the Greens and labelled their campaign in his seat as "dishonest and duplicitous". "They should be judged on that," he said.
Polling showed the race for government was split between Labor and Liberal, he said.
"Malcolm Turnbull has been running against himself this campaign - against views that he's held for a long time on climate change, on marriage equality, on public transport," he said.
Mr Albanese said he would spend the rest of the day visiting booths across Grayndler and hoped that on Sunday he would become a minister in a Bill Shorten-led government.
