At the moment the Labor Social gathering has received 87 seats, the Coalition simply 40 whereas there are 10 extra held by crossbench independents together with teals.

Apparently not a single Greens decrease home seat has been confirmed but, with solely the citizens of Ryan a practical probability.

Greens chief Adam Bandt’s seat of Melbourne is technically nonetheless one of many 12 seats up within the air, however he received’t win it as we forecast when Antony Inexperienced and others nonetheless thought Bandt would recover from the road.

The story of the shut counts since election night time is that Liberal and Nationwide MPs and candidates seemingly on the canvas have fought again laborious as postal votes strongly favour them. None extra in order that Tim Wilson who has now defeated Zoe Daniel in Goldstein although she claimed victory on the night time. What a goose!

Listed below are the 12 seats nonetheless up for grabs and what the state of play is in the meanwhile:

Bean within the ACT: in a shocking turnaround as postal votes are being solid incumbent Labor MP David Smith has fallen behind impartial challenger Jessica Value by almost 1,000 votes.

Bendigo: this regional Victorian seat is now extra prone to go to Labor. The Nationals had an enormous swing of their favour however have fallen 1,000 votes behind with Labor more and more assured of holding on.

Bradfield on Sydney’s north shore is the final non-teal seat Liberals maintain in that neck of the woods, however the Liberals candidate hoping to take over from outgoing MP Paul Fletcher is simply fractionally in entrance, by slightly below 200 votes. Postal votes ought to see her prolong her lead however absentees may convey that again. The teal candidate, Nicole Boele, who hit the headlines throughout the marketing campaign for all of the mistaken causes will want some luck to recover from the road.

Bullwinkel is a brand new seat created in WA on the outskirts of Perth. It was a notional Labor seat by round 3.3 p.c however its candidate is in a digital lifeless warmth proper now with Liberal candidate Matt Moran (not the celeb chef). However there are literally thousands of FIFO employees who did pre-poll and absentee votes exterior the citizens and people votes have not but been counted. Will their working class roots see them vote Labor, or as a part of the mining group are they suspicious a few Labor Social gathering that after tried to impose a mining tax? Labor are favourites.

Calwell is a historically protected Labor seat and can be held by the federal government until the impartial challenger can rise excessive sufficient within the choice stream to get previous the Liberal candidate and profit from their preferences. Proper now it actually appears extra possible Labor hangs on.

Flinders in Victoria is held by Liberal MP Zoe McKenzie and she or he is forward of the Labor challenger by 3,100 votes. She is going to win.

Fremantle incumbent Labor MP Josh Wilson is within the struggle of his political life to stave off impartial challenger Kate Hulett. He’s 350 votes in entrance and might want to win the absentees to remain there. Labor are favourites.

Kooyong sees Teal MP Monique Ryan out in from of Liberal challenger Amelia Hamer, by slightly below 1,000 votes. However that margin has halved and Hamer is prone to overhaul the teal who claimed victory on Saturday night time in what could be an embarrassing finish to Ryan’s political profession. Too near positively name however the Liberals are favourites.

Longman is a Liberal held seat in Brisbane and the Liberal MP is narrowly forward by round 500 votes having taken the lead as postal votes are counted and can prolong his lead additional as postal votes maintain coming in. He ought to win until absentee votes flip that round.

Melbourne is held by Greens chief Adam Bandt however not for lengthy. He’s a lifeless political duck and Labor will win.

Menzies in Melbourne is among the final Liberal held metropolitan seats. Incumbent Keith Wolahan regarded gone on election night time however is clawing nearer as postals get counted. He’s at present simply over 1,000 votes behind which implies he’s in with a shot. Too near name however I count on absentee votes to ship the seat to Labor.

Monash is a Melbourne citizens held by veteran former Liberal Russel Broadbent. He misplaced preselection and contested the seat as an impartial. Desire flows are all necessary right here. If it’s a struggle in opposition to the Labor Social gathering and the brand new Liberal candidate Mary Aldred she’s going to win. For the time being the Liberals are method out in entrance.

Ryan was received by the Greens off the Liberals on the final election. Liberals hoped to win it again nevertheless it appears just like the Greens will comfortably grasp on, pending one thing dramatic taking place with postals and absentee votes that turns it right into a struggle in opposition to Labor.

Our Political Editor Peter van Onselen additionally says Bandt is a goner, in need of a miracle turnaround.

Learn what he needed to say beneath:

The Greens could be making an enormous mistake to not nominate South Australian Senator Sarah Hanson-Younger as their subsequent chief.

She’s additionally in line with the social gathering membership on social and cultural points with out letting herself be outlined by what should not be core enterprise for the minor social gathering.

If the Greens don’t go along with Hanson-Younger it’s a certain signal that they have not learnt the teachings of failures within the Home of Representatives.

Hanson-Younger could be one of the best positioned Inexperienced to steer the social gathering into a brand new parliament the place it’s going to maintain the stability of energy within the Senate.

She prompted a stink earlier this yr when she introduced a lifeless fish into the Senate to debate a controversial invoice defending the ‘rotten’ salmon business (pictured, beneath).

A chambers she is aware of properly. She can also be finest positioned to barter with the Labor authorities on laws that will get kicked as much as the Senate.

Whereas Hanson-Younger has a robust media profile, together with a firebrand picture on points she fights for, she’s additionally rational to take care of within the corridors of energy in Canberra.

‘Giant utes have a job in regional areas, however these luxurious automobiles – that usually price upwards of $100,000 – have considerably greater emissions, and are extra harmful for pedestrians and cyclists than common passenger vehicles.

She added: ‘The excessive has worn off, guys, The enjoyment has worn off. Now I wish to cry out of disappointment.

‘Adam Bandt can not lose his seat!’

Nicely, Abbie: he can – and he nearly actually is.

A Teal MP who declared victory after which held a dance social gathering in her workplace was overwhelmed by the Liberal she turfed out of parliament three years in the past.

Zoe Daniel, MP for Goldstein, in Melbourne’s internal south-east suburbs, lapped up the adulation of her adoring supporters as she declared victory on Saturday night time.
