Federal election 2025 live results: Proof every Aussie vote counts with paper-thin margin in WA's Bullwinkle
Welcome to our rolling coverage of the 2025 federal election results.
Nine seats remain still too close to call, with the Greens facing the extraordinary possibility of being left with zero members in the House of Representatives.
On Wednesday night, PM Anthony Albanese urged the Greens to 'look in the mirror' before complaining about the culture at Parliament House in a brutal take-down.
Meanwhile the so-called teal independents have suffered a number of surprise losses with a former MP back in parliament.
And in WA's newly formed seat of Bullwinkle, just 172 votes separate Labor and Liberal candidates.
Tens of thousands of postal and declaration votes are still being counted.
In some close races the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has now moved to a three-candidate preferred (3CP) count, which can happen in seats where it is a tight three-way contest or where it is just difficult to predict who will be second or third.
Labor's convincing win has so far netted the party 89 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives, including Peter Dutton's seat of Dickson.
The Coalition has secured just 40 seats.

'Our results so far show that we've made a reasonably good start on it,' David Crisafulli says. Loading 'The minister has stood before you a couple of times and shown some pretty good steps forward, and we are about to embark on more changes. 'Watch this space.' He did not elaborate on the plans, and declined to say if the state would follow the lead of NSW and draft police in the crackdown. Queensland Health is currently responsible for enforcing cigarette laws. In November, this masthead revealed importers were flooding the market with more illegal tobacco than ever before.

Trump claimed the protesters in America's second-largest city were 'professional agitators, they're insurrectionists, they're bad people, they should be in jail'. 'The confrontations on the streets of LA are not episodic or random,' writes Political and International Editor Peter Hartcher. 'They are likely the opening scenes of a new phase in US history.' A Gaza-bound aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists has arrived at an Israeli port after Israeli forces stopped and detained them, enforcing a longstanding blockade of the Palestinian territory that has been tightened during the Israel-Hamas war.
