Currently the Labor Party has won 87 seats, the Coalition conscionable 40 portion determination are 10 much held by crossbench independents including teals.
Interestingly not a azygous Greens little location spot has been confirmed yet, with lone the electorate of Ryan a realistic chance.
Greens person Adam Bandt’s spot of Melbourne is technically inactive 1 of the 12 seats up successful the air, but helium won’t triumph it arsenic we forecast erstwhile Antony Green and others inactive thought Bandt would get implicit the line.
The communicative of the adjacent counts since predetermination nighttime is that Liberal and National MPs and candidates seemingly connected the canvas person fought backmost hard arsenic postal votes powerfully favour them. None much truthful that Tim Wilson who has present defeated Zoe Daniel successful Goldstein even though she claimed triumph connected the night. What a goose!
Here are the 12 seats inactive up for grabs and what the authorities of play is astatine the moment:
Bean in the ACT: successful a stunning turnaround arsenic postal votes are being formed incumbent Labor MP David Smith has fallen down autarkic challenger Jessica Price by astir 1,000 votes. If that inclination continues Labor volition suffer the seat, but yet to beryllium counted absentee votes mightiness tighten the race. Labor astir apt loses.
Bendigo: this determination Victorian spot is present much apt to spell to Labor. The Nationals had a monolithic plaything successful their favour but person fallen 1,000 votes down with Labor progressively assured of holding on.
Bradfield on Sydney’s northbound enactment is the past non-teal spot Liberals clasp successful that cervix of the woods, but the Liberals campaigner hoping to instrumentality implicit from outgoing MP Paul Fletcher is lone fractionally successful front, by conscionable nether 200 votes. Postal votes should spot her widen her pb but absentees mightiness bring that back. The teal candidate, Nicole Boele, who deed the headlines during the run for each the incorrect reasons volition request immoderate luck to get implicit the line.
Bullwinkel is a caller spot created successful WA connected the outskirts of Perth. It was a notional Labor spot by astir 3.3 percent but its campaigner is successful a virtual dormant vigor close present with Liberal campaigner Matt Moran (not the personage chef). But determination are thousands of FIFO workers who did pre-poll and absentee votes extracurricular the electorate and those votes haven't yet been counted. Will their moving people roots spot them ballot Labor, oregon arsenic portion of the mining assemblage are they suspicious astir a Labor Party that erstwhile tried to enforce a mining tax? Labor are favourites.
Calwell is a traditionally harmless Labor spot and volition beryllium held by the authorities unless the autarkic challenger tin emergence precocious capable successful the penchant travel to get past the Liberal campaigner and payment from their preferences. Right present it surely looks much apt Labor hangs on.
Flinders in Victoria is held by Liberal MP Zoe McKenzie and she is up of the Labor challenger by 3,100 votes. She volition win.
Fremantle incumbent Labor MP Josh Wilson is successful the combat of his governmental beingness to stave disconnected autarkic challenger Kate Hulett. He’s 350 votes successful beforehand and volition request to triumph the absentees to enactment there. Labor are favourites.
Kooyong sees Teal MP Monique Ryan retired successful from of Liberal challenger Amelia Hamer, by conscionable nether 1,000 votes. But that borderline has halved and Hamer is apt to overhaul the teal who claimed triumph connected Saturday nighttime successful what would beryllium an embarrassing extremity to Ryan’s governmental career. Too adjacent to decidedly telephone but the Liberals are favourites.
Longman is a Liberal held spot successful Brisbane and the Liberal MP is narrowly up by astir 500 votes having taken the pb arsenic postal votes are counted and volition widen his pb further arsenic postal votes support coming in. He should triumph unless absentee votes crook that around.
Melbourne is held by Greens person Adam Bandt but not for long. He’s a dormant governmental duck and Labor volition win.
Menzies in Melbourne is 1 of the past Liberal held metropolitan seats. Incumbent Keith Wolahan looked gone connected predetermination nighttime but is clawing person arsenic postals get counted. He’s presently conscionable implicit 1,000 votes down which means he’s successful with a shot. Too adjacent to telephone but I expect absentee votes to present the spot to Labor.
Monash is a Melbourne electorate held by seasoned erstwhile Liberal Russel Broadbent. He mislaid preselection and contested the spot arsenic an independent. Preference flows are each important here. If it’s a combat against the Labor Party and the caller Liberal campaigner Mary Aldred she volition win. At the infinitesimal the Liberals are mode retired successful front.
Ryan was won by the Greens disconnected the Liberals astatine the past election. Liberals hoped to triumph it backmost but it looks similar the Greens volition comfortably bent on, pending thing melodramatic happening with postals and absentee votes that turns it into a combat against Labor.
