Joel Michael<p>What the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusVotes</span></a> election campaign missed was petty vandalism of coreflutes. Pleased to finally find one.</p>
David Marler<p>Lib ahead by just 43 votes in Bradfield. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>Could there be a resurgence in Goldstein? Tim Wilson is definitely worried giving instructions to his scrutineers but the ABC election computer still says it's a Lib gain on a 292 vote lead. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>Ultra-close in Bradfield. A few days ago it looked like a Liberal Party retain but the gap has narrowed to 70 votes. Could change at any time. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>A good swing to Labor in Longman but it's a LNP retain. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>

David Marler<p>As at the time of posting, 4 seats in doubt. Could change at any time. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
