Cathy McGowen is within 300 votes of defeating Sophie Mirabella.

She got more than 1200 votes  😄

The speeches are intersting SM attacked Labor/greens and Indies and said Cathy had been used by them.

Cathy was just jubilant about the local grass roots campaign coming so close.

Down to 35 votes in Indi between Cathy and Sophie.

Updating so fast...Cathy is 400 in front!

 that would be a good result,  not even rusties seem to like sophie. (people know about the old bloke she kept locked up out back)

Safe Liberal seat but still a swing of +7.7%

38.1%

61.9 %

Eden-Monaro is pretty close too.

THE final result in the race for Eden-Monaro between Labor incumbent Mike Kelly and Liberal challenger Peter Hendy may not be known until September 20.

The Australian Electoral Commission confirmed this morning a recount of all votes cast on election day will be carried out today (Monday, September 11) before counting of the thousands of pre-poll and postal votes begins.

The AEC said final results from the pre-poll and postal vote count won’t be confirmed until 13 days after election day.

Mr Hendy currently holds a razor thin 386 vote lead out of more than 80,000 votes already counted.

Dr Kelly, however, will be hoping for a strong result from pre-polls which broke heavily in his favour in 2010.

I wonder if we will retain our reputation as the bellwether seat?
