Overview

• Monique Ryan has been re-elected in Kooyong, defeating Liberal challenger Amelia Hamer, who conceded via Instagram after vote counting confirmed Ryan's lead.
• Ryan saw a 3.3% increase in her primary vote, with preference flows solidifying her victory in the historically Liberal stronghold.
• Other independents faced varying outcomes, with Nicolette Boele expected to narrowly lose Bradfield to Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian.
• The Greens retained the Brisbane seat of Ryan, with Elizabeth Watson-Brown overcoming a drop in first-preference votes to secure a second term.
• Four seats—Monash, Longman, Flinders, and Calwell—remain too close to call over a week after the election, reflecting a fragmented political landscape.
