While Anthony Albanese has secured a second term as in a landslide victory for Labor on Saturday, some races have not been called yet.
The Melbourne seat of Goldstein is expected to be won by Liberal Tim Wilson, according to polling group Redbridge, after a close contest with incumbent teal MP Zoe Daniel.
Simon Welsh, director of political research and polling firm Redbridge, said Goldstein was different to some of the other teal seats in that it had more middle-class aspirational voters.
Think “tradies done good”, he said.

“So it was always problematic for that reason,” he said.

“It doesn’t have that typical teal mix of progressive, urban, older middle class and younger people coming in,” he said, but noted the electorate of Curtin also didn’t have this demographic mix and independent Kate Chaney had still done well.

“I think you can’t talk about Goldstein without talking about the Jewish community,” he said.
“There were parts of that community actively campaigning against [Zoe Daniel].”
Redbridge also called the seat of Wills for the Labor Party’s Peter Khalil, after a close contest with Greens candidate Samantha Ratnam.

However, there are still several seats which have not yet been called — these are the ones to watch in the coming days.

Bradfield

In Bradfield in Sydney’s north, Liberal Gisele Kapterian and independent Nicolette Boele have been battling in an extremely tight race.

Kapterian is currently ahead of Boele by a slim margin of 54 votes.
