The six present elected crossbenchers are anticipated to carry their seats, with Kooyong and Goldstein in Victoria gained by “teal” independents. I don’t depend Craig Kelly, as he was elected as a Liberal in Hughes earlier than defecting to the UAP.

Some seats are tied at 50-50, and these circumstances are shaded to point which social gathering is forward. Bennelong and Lindsay are very shut for Labor, with Longman (Qld), Ryan (Qld) and Sturt (SA) simply remaining with the Coalition, whereas Corangamite (Vic) is a possible Labor loss.
Whereas the Greens are proven as profitable simply their one present seat of Melbourne, they’re just one level behind Labor on major votes in each Brisbane and Ryan. In the event that they handed Labor, they might achieve Brisbane on Labor preferences and Ryan can be shut.
