Bombshell as final seat in election called
The Liberals are poised to lose the blue ribbon seat of Bradfield to teal independent Nicolette Boele following a closely watched recount. Gladys Berejiklian-backed candidate Gisele Kapterian is currently trailing Ms Boele by 27 votes, despite winning the first count by eight votes, triggering an automatic recount. Sky News called the electorate for the Climate-200 backed independent, and the Australian Electoral Commission is set to officially announce the winner later today. An AEC spokesman said about 99.9 per cent of the vote had been counted with Ms Boele ahead by 27 votes. The seat was previously held by former Morrison-era minister Paul Fletcher who retired at the last election. Ms Kapterian and the Liberal Party now have the option to contest the result at the Court of Disputed Returns, which would most likely result in a by-election. Sussan Ley had also previously awarded the former Salesforce executive the shadow assistant portfolios for technology and the digital economy, however this was contingent on her winning Bradfield.

Federal election 2025: Teal independent Monique Ryan set for victory in seat of Kooyong
After over a week since Anthony Albanese and Labor swept to a famous Federal election victory, one of the most hotly contested seats looks set to go to the Teals. SKY News has called Monique Ryan winning in the seat of Kooyong, providing another body blow for the Liberals. A week of close counts and false claims, has delivered a desperately close vote count, however the remaining count is likely to allow Ms Ryan to hold her slim lead and retain the seat. Ms Ryan currently has 50.3 per cent of the vote, leading Liberal Amelia Hamer by just 693 votes. But with only 5,000 votes to count, and with those votes splitting roughly 50/50, it is all but certain Ms Hamer cannot bridge the gap. While the margin could tighten, there is enough of a trend to say that Dr Ryan will hold on. Teal MPs will now hold on to five out of six of their existing seats after losing Goldstein, but will likely fall short of winning an extra seat in Sydney's Bradfield. Climate-200 backed candidates have also fallen just short in Bean, Fremantle, Forrest, Flinders, and Monash. Kooyong has been one of the focus seats during the election with Ms Ryan and Ms Hamer at various points since the election thinking they had won. 'I actually did speak to the team and I said: 'Look, should I call and concede?'' Ms Hamer told 3AW last Tuesday. 'The team said to me, no, it does look like what's coming out of pre-poll is much more positive. 'I trust my team and so we hung on.' Dr Ryan secured the seat of Kooyong at the 2022 election over former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg.

Monique Ryan clings on as Sky News calls Kooyong for Teal MP despite spirited challenge from Liberal Amelia Hamer
Teal independent Monique Ryan will hold on to the seat of Kooyong after an agonising count that has ebbed and flowed for a week after election night. As it stands the Climate 200-backed independent has 50.3 per cent of the vote, leading Liberal Amelia Hamer by just 693 votes. However, with only 5,000 votes to count, and with those votes splitting roughly 50/50, it is all but certain Ms Hamer cannot bridge the gap. While the margin could tighten, there is enough of a trend to say that Ms Ryan will hold on in a cliffhanger. The so-called Teal MPs will now hold on to five out of six of their existing seats having lost Goldstein, but will likely fall short of winning an extra seat in Bradfield, Sydney. Although that race is currently too close to call, the Liberal candidate, Gisele Kapterian, will likely to hang on. She currently leads by just 237 votes. Climate-200 backed candidates have also fallen just short in several seats at this election, including Bean, Fremantle, Forrest, Flinders, and Monash. However, one candidate, Keryn Jones, remains an outside chance of winning Fisher if she can finish in the final two once preferences are distributed.
