New Centrebet odds as at midnight:

Very interesting! There must have been some action for them to move it like that. Probably a bit of money going on National. But at this point I'm sticking with my odds as I have given a little bit of credit for incumbency despite recent polls.
-------------UPDATE---------------
Australian bookies, Centrebet have just released their odds on who will be PM:
LABOUR@1.83, NATIONAL@1.83, NEW ZEALAND FIRST@151.00

My odds are as follows:
