Overview
- The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is awaiting postal ballots due by May 16 before officially declaring results in several undecided seats.
- The ABC has called Longman and Flinders for the Coalition, but Bradfield and Goldstein remain too close to call, with margins of 43 and 294 votes respectively.
- Goldstein's Liberal candidate Tim Wilson faces scrutiny over leaked messages urging scrutineers to challenge informal votes as independent Zoe Daniel narrows the gap.
- Bradfield's recount is likely, with only 314 votes left to process, as independent Nicolette Boele closes in on Liberal Gisele Kapterian's slim lead.
- Calwell's final outcome is delayed due to a highly complex preference distribution involving multiple candidates, with no clear winner yet identified.
