While Labor scored an emphatic majority over the coalition in Saturday’s federal election, a number of seats remain too close to call.

SEATS TOO CLOSE TO CALL

  • Melbourne (Vic) - Greens leader Adam Bandt is in danger of losing his seat to Labor challenger Sarah Witty, who is leading by almost 3000 votes. A high number of postal votes coming in are flowing to Labor over the Greens
  • Kooyong (Vic) - Independent MP Monique Ryan is facing a challenge from Liberal Amelia Hamer, with teal leading 51 per cent to 49 per cent, with three-quarters of the vote counted
  • Bradfield (NSW) - Just 905 votes separate independent challenger Nicolette Boele and the Liberals Gisele Kapterian in the former safe seat for the coalition
  • Bullwinkel (WA) - Barely anything splits Labor and the Liberals in the newest WA seat, with Labor’s Trish Cook leading by just 85 votes over Liberal Matt Moran. Preferences from the Nationals, who are in third place, are set to decide the seat’s outcome
  • Goldstein (Vic) - A razor-thin margin of 95 votes separates leading independent MP Zoe Daniel and Liberal challenger Tim Wilson, with the result to come down to preferences
  • Longman (Qld) - Labor’s Rhiannyn Douglas is ahead 50.2 per cent to coalition MP Terry Young’s 49.8 per cent, with 318 votes separating the pair
  • Wills (Vic) - Labor MP Peter Khalil is facing a challenge from Greens candidate Samantha Ratnam, with the incumbent ahead 51.6 per cent to 48.4 per cent
  • Ryan (Qld) - A three-way contest has emerged in the Brisbane-based seat between Greens MP Elizabeth Watson-Brown, the coalition’s Maggie Forrest and Labor’s Rebecca Hack. The Greens are narrowly ahead, but the result will come down to preference flows of the party who finishes third
  • Fremantle (WA) - A close battle is underway in one of Labor’s safest seats, with Labor MP Josh Wilson under threat from independent challenger Kate Hulett. Ms Hullet is ahead by just 196 votes
  • Bean (ACT) - The Labor stronghold held by MP David Smith is also being challenged by independent Jessie Price. Mr Smith is leading 52.5 per cent to 47.5 per cent, but he previously held the seat by more than 12 per cent.
