Still counting …
The ABC computer has the prediction back at 83 seats. That would be the 80 seats Labor has in the bank plus Flynn (ALP ahead by 430 votes), Robertson (258 votes) and Solomon (89 votes).
The Coalition is ahead in Bowman (119 votes), McEwan (194 votes), Dickson (225 votes), Herbert (293 votes), Swan (352 votes) and La Trobe (889 votes).
As the count has progressed, Labor’s two-party preferred vote share has continued to decline. It is now 52.84 per cent; well below the Hawke achievement of 53.23 in 1983. At the close of counting on election night it was 53.41.
