Son of Palestinian refugees projected to win Calwell for Labor in most complex preference count in history
The son of Palestinian refugees has been projected to win the Melbourne seat of Calwell for Labor after the most complex preference count the Australian Electoral Commission has ever conducted. The ABC's chief election analyst Antony Green and the independent election analyst Ben Raue called the seat for Basem Abdo on Monday afternoon, increasing Labor's majority to 94 seats. Abdo, who replaced the long-serving Labor MP Maria Vamvakinou as the party's candidate, was in a field of 13 candidates, with several independent candidates eating into both major parties' margins to make it difficult to predict who would be the final two candidates. Abdo won 30.6% of the primary vote, with the Liberal candidate Usman Ghani second on 15.6%. Two independents sat close behind the Liberal on the primary vote, with the former Labor mayor turned independent Carly Moore banking 12.1% of primary votes and independent candidate Joseph Youhana taking 11.3%. The preference flows were so tight that the Greens candidate Ravneet Kaur Garcha, who was even further behind with a primary vote of 8.3%, knocked out Youhana through preferences and took the fourth spot in the race. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Garcha was then knocked out, with many preferences going to Abdo and Moore, which eliminated the Liberal candidate, making it impossible for Moore to beat Abdo through the final preference flows. The AEC said on its website 'the distribution of preferences for the Division of Calwell is the most complex preference count the AEC has ever conducted'. Calwell has been held by Labor since it was created in 1984. Vamvakinou held Calwell from 2001 and endorsed Abdo to run for the seat, with significant support from within Labor's socialist left faction. Vamvakinou was one of Labor's most outspoken members on the war in Gaza, and said previously that recognising Palestinian statehood was 'unfinished business' for her party. Abdo was born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents – his father left a village in the occupied West Bank after the six-day war in 1967 – and his family sought refuge in Jordan during the Gulf war before migrating to Australia in 1991. Calwell was a seat where the conflict in Gaza had a tangible impact. The community group Muslim Votes Matters named Calwell one of its 'focus' electorates, and the Muslim Vote endorsed an independent Muslim candidate. About a quarter of voters in Calwell are Muslim, according to the 2021 census. The Muslim Votes Matters group also handed out their own how to vote cards across the electorate, which had an impact on preference flows. The Muslim Votes Matters card endorsed the independent candidate Samim Moslih, but also preferenced Youhana ahead of Abdo and both ahead of Moore. On Monday the AEC declared the first batch of senators for the state of South Australia. The Labor senators Marielle Smith and Karen Grogan have returned to parliament, along with Liberals Alex Antic and Anne Ruston, and the Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young. Labor also won the last spot, with 21-year-old Charlotte Walker. On Tuesday, the AEC will announce the results for the Northern Territory and Tasmania, where Jacqui Lambie has been facing off against the One Nation candidate Lee Hanson, Pauline Hanson's daughter. The seat of Goldstein will be partially recounted by the AEC after the independent MP Zoe Daniel called for a full recount. Daniel was behind the Liberal candidate and former MP Tim Wilson by 260 votes at the end of the full distribution of preferences. The partial recount will examine all first preference ballot papers for Daniel and Wilson, as well as all informal ballot papers, but won't repeat a complete distribution of preferences, as the AEC said it was confident in that part of the process. The recount will begin on Wednesday and is estimated to take up to four days. A recount has already begun in the Sydney seat of Bradfield, where at the end of the full distribution the Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian was just eight votes ahead of the independent candidate Nicolette Boele. The AEC expects the full recount to take up to two weeks. In the event of a tie, the AEC would petition the court of disputed returns within the high court to void the result and trigger a byelection. A candidate could also petition the court, after the recount, to void the result.

Afternoon Update: Labor wins Calwell after epic count; PM condemns Gaza ‘outrage'; and a missing calf returns home
Good afternoon. After one of the most complex preference counts in Australian history, electoral analysts have called the seat of Calwell in Melbourne's northern suburbs for Labor candidate Basem Abdo. A record number of votes for minor parties and independents placed the preferential voting system in Calwell under strain, but Greens preferences eventually secured Labor's 94th lower house seat. Born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents – his father left a village in the occupied West Bank after the six-day war in 1967 – Abdo's family sought refuge in Jordan during the Gulf war before migrating to Australia in 1991. Meanwhile, the AEC will conduct a partial recount in the seat of Goldstein, after a request for a full recount by the incumbent independent MP, Zoe Daniel. At the end of the full distribution of preferences, the margin was 260 votes in favour of Liberal challenger Tim Wilson. The partial recount will re-examine all first-preference ballot papers for Wilson and Daniel as well as all informal ballot papers, but won't include a fresh distribution of preferences.

The couple had been evacuated from their Ghinni Ghinni property the week earlier and were forced to leave behind their livestock as the deadly deluge hit the NSW mid-north coast. 'It is outrageous that there be a blockade of food and supplies to people who are in need in Gaza … People are starving. The idea that a democratic state withholds supply is an outrage.' In some of his strongest comments since Israel's war in Gaza began, Anthony Albanese called the Israeli government's 'excuses' for stopping critical food and medical supplies into the Palestinian territory 'completely untenable'. The prime minister said he had conveyed Australia's 'deep concern' to Israel's president over what the UN says may constitute 'the cruellest phase of this cruel conflict'. The NSW SES commissioner, Mike Wassing, says of the 572 dwellings assessed as uninhabitable around the Taree, Wingham and Glenthorne areas, 384 are homes. That number is expected to rise. Meanwhile, the federal government has announced 70 Australian defence force personnel will be deployed to the mid-north coast to assist with the cleanup.

Labor extends its victory as Basem Abdo secures Calwell, growing Anthony Albanese's super majority in the lower house
Sky News Chief Election Analyst Tom Connell has confirmed that Labor candidate Basem Abdo has won the seat of Calwell in Victoria. The result means the Albanese government has retained every single seat in the federal election for the first time since 1966. Mr Abdo's win secures the 94th seat for Labor, increasing its super majority in the House of Representatives. The Coalition will have 44 seats, assuming that Liberal Party candidate Gisele Kapterian wins in the seat of Bradfield, which has gone to a recount. Sky News called the seat for Mr Abdo on Friday and confirmed the outcome when it was revealed independent Carly Moore would place second above Liberal Usman Ghani. The seat of Calwell was described as the most complicated count in election history with 13 candidates. The result comes as the Australian Electoral Commission agrees to partially recount votes in Goldstein after Teal MP Zoe Daniel refused to concede defeat. Ms Daniel had called for a full recount, but the AEC rejected this, instead engaging in a partial recount to ensure the 'greatest level of confidence' in the result. In a statement, the commission said the distribution of preferences had "some discrepancies", but that these were "not uncommon". "The recount request submitted by Independent candidate Zoe Daniel was carefully considered and instructive but not determinative," the AEC said. "Her request for a full recount has not been granted." The move follows Ms Daniel's refusal to accept the election result after a three-week count showed she had lost the seat by 260 votes. Ms Daniel, who claimed victory on election night, later argued that there were 'several errors' identified in the distribution of preferences. 'There are also several outstanding questions regarding the broader count, which would be resolved by a recount,' she said in a statement over the weekend. During the count, the margin for Mr Wilson was as high as 444 at one point before it flowed back to Ms Daniel, resulting in her loss by 260 votes. Ms Daniel's refusal to concede has drawn scrutiny in light of her past statements on electoral legitimacy. In November 2020, while working as a journalist, she criticised US President Donald Trump for refusing to accept his loss to Joe Biden. 'Trump has to find an excuse for losing that is not himself, because he can't accept being a 'loser',' she posted on social media at the time. 'Having built a whole political career planting doubt/fear/blame and undermining trust—in this case it's democracy that he's delegitimising. Concerning, not surprising.'

Australia news LIVE: Coalition parties inch closer to reuniting; PM speaks from disaster zone; Calwell and Bradfield races tighten further
Key posts 2.21pm Ley gets partyroom green light to strike deal with Nats 2.01pm Calwell count tightens as independent leaps ahead of Liberals 1.19pm The story so far 12.46pm Watch: Anthony Albanese and Chris Minns speak from disaster zone 12.14pm Boele's wafer-thin lead in Bradfield narrows further to just five votes 11.34am More Jetstar flights disrupted by GPS glitches 10.32am Trump's ban on foreign students at Harvard 'distressing' for Australians: Rudd 9.48am More rate cuts could be on the horizon: NAB CEO Hide key posts Latest posts Latest posts 2.21pm Ley gets partyroom green light to strike deal with Nats By Paul Sakkal Returning to one of the week's biggest stories now: The Liberal and National parties are inching closer to reforming the Coalition after Liberal MPs authorised leader Sussan Ley to get a deal done with counterpart David Littleproud. Liberals held their second online party room meeting in as many days, after Littleproud announced on Tuesday he wanted to exit the Coalition. Loading Some Liberals on the hook-up pushed for more detailed examination of Littleproud's demands on lifting the moratorium on nuclear power and creating new powers to force divestment of anticompetitive supermarkets. The party reached a consensus to agree to the policy demands at a principle level, while reserving its rights to negotiate on some details. Crucially, MPs decided to give Ley the power to continue her talks with Littleproud in the hope of striking a deal and forming a joint shadow cabinet by the time parliament sits on July 22. Much of the speculation about policy differences centred on the policies of nuclear power and forced supermarket breakups. Loading But the items that Liberals determined needed further consideration related to Littleproud's two lower-profile demands. On the $20 billion regional fund, Liberals want to ensure the money is used in regional Liberal seats as well as Nationals seats (senior Liberals Angus Taylor, Dan Tehan and Ley herself are among those with seats outside capital cities). And on the universal mobile service pledge, Liberals worry the policy demand goes further than the party's election commitment. Ley has received criticism in some quarters of the Liberal Party for failing to convene a party room meeting earlier in the week to assess the Nationals' demands. 2.01pm Calwell count tightens as independent leaps ahead of Liberals By Adam Carey The race for the last undeclared seat in Victoria has tightened, with Labor still in doubt of retaining the once super-safe seat of Calwell in Melbourne's outer north. Carly Moore, a three-time Calwell mayor who quit the ALP to run as an independent, has catapulted into second place as counting progresses in what the Australian Electoral Commission called the most complicated count in its history. Moore currently trails Labor's candidate Basem Abdo with 45.8 per cent of votes, compared to Abdo's 54.2 per cent after preferences. Moore needs to secure 64.4 per cent of preferences from Liberal and Greens votes in Calwell as those parties' candidates are eliminated from the count in coming days. In his blog The Tally Room, psephologist Ben Raue said 'Moore's chances of winning now look very good'. Loading Moore told this masthead that she believed the result would come down to the wire in a complex contest in which multiple independents polled well, and their preferences sprayed around. Moore campaigned on a platform of grievance about perceived Labor neglect of the economically disadvantaged and ethnically diverse electorate. She preferenced Abdo last on her how-to-vote card. 'All the things that we were saying during the campaign are true, that this community feels like we're being taken advantage of,' she said. 'We've been treated like a safe seat because we've been a safe seat'. Moore said Labor, which previously held Calwell with a 12.4 per cent margin, would have to devote more resources to the seat in future elections, no matter who wins this time. 'This should be Labor heartland. I hope that they see this as a bit of a wake-up call to make sure they're listening to what the community is telling them, because I don't think they have been'. Abdo was contacted for comment. Labor has not lost a single seat in the 2025 election. But it suffered a primary vote swing of 14.3 per cent in Calwell. 1.39pm Australia must prepare for Hollywood-style cyberattack: Cybersecurity sheriff By Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson Australia has yet to suffer a critical, Hollywood-style cybersecurity incident, according to the nation's top online cop, but our defences are being tested and criminals grow in number. The rate of cyberattacks against Australian businesses may also be higher than statistics indicate, she warned as small businesses continue bearing the brunt of financial losses. National Cyber Security Co-ordinator Lieutenant General Michelle McGuinness issued the warnings at the AusCERT Cyber Security Conference on the Gold Coast today, while also promising public consultation to inform future online safety policies. The event has drawn 900 delegates and comes a month after large superannuation firms were targeted in a co-ordinated online attack and less than a year after 12.9 million Australians had private information stolen in the MediSecure hack. Loading Despite a growing number of attacks on large Australian organisations including in the healthcare and telecommunications sectors and legal firms, McGuinness told the audience none had damaged the nation's critical infrastructure or had a lasting impact. 'Australia has seen the dark side of significant cyber incidents such as Optus, Medibank, Latitude Financial, Ramsay Health Care… but we are actually yet to see a catastrophic cyber incident with impacts across multiple critical infrastructure sectors,' she said. 'We must continue to evolve and thrive to ensure that those scenes we see in Hollywood [movies] never actually eventuate.' The Annual Cyber Threat Report released in November found Australian cybercrime reports grew by 12 per cent in 2024 and the cost of attacks to individuals grew by 17 per cent to an average of $30,700. The Australian Cyber Security Strategy, launched in November 2023, is due to be updated by 2026 to address a broader range of cybersecurity investments, and a public consultation will be launched in the coming months. 1.19pm The story so far By Alexander Darling Good afternoon, Alexander Darling here in the newsroom to take you through until the weekend. Here's a quick recap of what's happened so far this Friday. The prime minister and NSW Premier Chris Minns just addressed the media in NSW as the ongoing flood emergency continues (see the presser below, we've got a separate liveblog for this too). Another Jetstar flight has been cancelled after a fault in its navigation system, suspected to be related to solar flare activity. The count for the Sydney seat of Bradfield remains a rollercoaster: Teal hopeful Nicolette Boele's lead over Liberal candidate Giselle Kapterian has dipped from 39 to just four votes as postal votes have been counted across this week. Australia's ambassador to the US said he was working with the US government, after the Trump administration blocked Harvard University from enrolling international students. Following Tuesday's rate cut by the RBA, the chief executive of NAB said three more could be on the horizon. And the latest on the Liberal-National break-up saga is that former Nationals leaders Michael McCormack and Barnaby Joyce have worked with Liberal leader Sussan Ley to pressure David Littleproud into reopening Coalition talks. I'll keep you up to date across the afternoon on this one. 12.46pm Watch: Anthony Albanese and Chris Minns speak from disaster zone By Angus Dalton Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns have spoken from Maitland, in the state's flood-affected Hunter region. Watch in full below: Here are some key points: Loading Premier Chris Minns has announced the rollout of personal hardship grants to help battered northern NSW residents recover from the flood disaster. He said grants of up to $180 for individuals and $900 for families affected by the floods would be available soon, funded jointly by the state and federal governments. Minns has also urged flood-affected residents to consult the Hazards Near Me app and the State Emergency Service website even as sunshine begins to peak through clouds up north. You can keep up to date with all the latest flood information in our dedicated live blog. At least four people have been killed, and rescue operations are continuing. 12.38pm Former Nationals leader McCormack says he is 'ambitious' for Littleproud By Paul Sakkal and Olivia Ireland Former Nationals leader Michael McCormack, whom David Littleproud was set to dump from his Nationals-only frontbench, said most Australians would have been asking 'what the hell is going on' in the aftermath of the Coalition split. McCormack stressed that Littleproud's leadership was not under threat, though he also appeared to echo former prime minister Scott Morrison's comments about Malcolm Turnbull before taking leadership of the Liberal Party in 2018. Loading 'I'm ambitious for him [Littleproud],' McCormack told ABC Canberra this morning. 'He's been messy, he's been really messy, and for people on the outside looking in they just wonder what the hell is going on.' McCormack, Chester and Barnaby Joyce had talks with Liberal leader Sussan Ley since the split in a bid to revive the Coalition relationship. McCormack and Chester confirmed the discussions. 'Sussan and I are very close, and we speak together very regularly,' McCormack said. 'The Nationals walked away from the Liberals, and Sussan was the newly anointed Liberal leader. It's important that I did talk to her and try and get things patched up.' 12.14pm Boele's wafer-thin lead in Bradfield narrows further to just five votes The count for Bradfield has been a rollercoaster ride for Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian and her opponent, teal hopeful Nicolette Boele. When provisional counting ended on Monday, Boele was in front by 39 votes. Loading But today, Boele's already wafer-thin margin over Kapterian has narrowed further to just four votes, the Australian Electoral Commission says. The north shore seat was called for Boele on election night by the ABC and Nine, only for Kapterian to forge ahead on the back of postal votes to a winnable position several days later. As the final votes trickled in, however, the Liberals were caught off guard. While postal votes usually favour the Coalition, a batch of international ballots swung heavily in Boele's favour. Bradfield has traditionally been considered a safe Liberal seat – retiring MP Paul Fletcher has held the northern Sydney seat since the byelection in 2009. Preferences are being distributed, and if fewer than 100 votes still separate the candidates, there will be a recount. 12.00pm ASX edges higher, Rio Tinto slides as CEO heads for exit The Australian sharemarket has advanced after a choppy session on Wall Street caused by worries coming out of the bond market about the US government's debt. The ASX 200 rose 26.6 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 8366.8 by 11am AEST on Friday, with five of 11 industry sectors in the green. Mining giant Rio Tinto was 1.5 per cent lower in early trade after it announced on Thursday night it had started a global search to replace chief executive Jakob Stausholm, who will step down from his position after spending almost five years at the top. Loading BHP was 0.4 per cent lower and Fortescue shed 1.6 per cent in early trade. The big four banks are in positive territory. NAB added 0.6 per cent, Westpac gained 0.5 per cent, while CBA and ANZ both edged up 0.1 per cent. Energy stocks are the best-performing sector, with Woodside and Santos adding 0.5 per cent in early trade. Wall Street trading remained choppy throughout most of the day following Wednesday's big slump for the S&P 500. That loss has put the benchmark index on track for its worst week in the past seven. The S&P 500 slipped 2.60 points, or less than 0.1 per cent, to close at 5842.01. The Dow Jones fell 1.35 points, or less than 0.1 per cent, to 41,859.09. The Nasdaq composite rose 53.09 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 18,925.73. 11.34am More Jetstar flights disrupted by GPS glitches By Chris Zappone A second Jetstar flight has been cancelled after a fault in its navigation system, suspected to be related to solar flare activity. A Brisbane to Bali flight was scrapped on Thursday after disturbances to its Global Positioning System (GPS) prevented the flight from taking off, Jetstar confirmed. The disruption follows an earlier cancellation of a flight from Melbourne to Bali on Wednesday, as well as a number of delays, lasting for hours, that affected other flights at the Qantas-owned economy airline. The GPS fault also caused subsequent delays of Jetstar flights to Bali, Fiji and Hobart from Australia's east coast on Thursday. The spate of difficulties comes days after the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a warning about solar flare activity in previous days, raising the possibility that electromagnetic interference could affect aviation communication and navigation. The Jetstar aircraft received a message 'requiring the [GPS] system to be reset before the flight departs', a spokesperson for the airline said, which caused 'a small number of disruptions to flights'. 'Engineers have inspected the aircraft and have determined the multiple aircraft GPS systems continue to operate and transmit signals,' Jetstar said. No other Qantas-owned aircraft were affected. A spokesperson for Virgin Australia said no similar issues had been reported with its aircraft. 11.10am Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie swats away questions on Littleproud's leadership By Cindy Yin Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie has thrown her support behind leader David Littleproud after swatting away questions on whether he could survive as the party's leader. It comes after this masthead reported that former Nationals leaders Michael McCormack and Barnaby Joyce – who Littleproud was preparing to dump from his frontbench – had worked with Liberal leader Sussan Ley to pressure Littleproud into reopening Coalition talks. McKenzie was asked on Sky News this morning if David Littleproud's leadership of the Nationals was at risk as a result of the rifts. 'David Littleproud is our leader, the party room made a collective decision to leave the Coalition. 'We will come back together post the Liberal Party's meeting to discuss whatever comes out of that.' McKenzie declined to comment on specifics. 'I'm not going to become a gossip columnist about who said what to whom, that's up for others to discuss that,' she said. 'I'm the Senate leader – I'm going to be looking forward, to see what the Liberal Party has to say and where we go from here. Do we stay separate or are we going to renegotiate a Coalition agreement?'

Ley's first appearance as Liberal leader; Labor urged to be more ambitious; and Aunty Donna's straight man goes solo
Good afternoon. Sussan Ley says she will 'take the time to get it right' after becoming Australia's first female opposition leader, narrowly beating Angus Taylor in a party room ballot for the Liberal leadership. Ley's deputy will be Ted O'Brien, the former energy spokesperson, who fended off a surprise challenge from the Queensland MP Phil Thompson. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who had announced she would run for deputy leader, withdrew after Taylor lost the leadership ballot. In her first press conference as opposition leader, Ley said Australia was 'a place where I could dream my biggest dreams', and the Liberals needed to respect, reflect and represent modern Australia. She said the party would review 'every single policy issue' in the wake of the election, including nuclear and net zero, but that there 'won't be a climate war' under her leadership. We may be waiting weeks for a result in the seat of Calwell – the most complex ever counted in an Australian election Some witness statements 'blatantly contradictory' to Alan Jones sexual assault allegations, court hears Mass murder at Bondi Junction likely due to Joel Cauchi's 'sexual frustration and hatred towards women', inquest told NSW to legalise e-scooters on paths and roads up to 20km/h for those over 16 UN body rules Russia responsible for downing of flight MH17 prompting calls for compensation A year after deadly riots, New Caledonia's president vows to address push for independence Erin Patterson is on trial in regional Victoria, where she has pleaded not guilty to murdering or attempting to murder four relatives of her estranged husband at a 2023 lunch.

That's extremely important. And we need the government to be held to account on the things that communities like Kooyong care about.'

The latest Guardian Essential poll shows many voters want the Albanese government to stick to the policies it took to the election, but there is appetite among progressives for Labor to use its large majority to be more ambitious, writes Essential's Peter Lewis.
