As the AEC slowly checks through preferences more seats become declared.  Goldstein has been lost by Zoe Daniel to previous incumbent Liberal Tim Wilson, and Greens Leader Adam Bandt has lost Melbourne to Labor’s Sarah Witty, former CEO of the Nappy Collective.  This will add another leadership contest to that of the Liberal Party following Peter Dutton’s loss of the seat of Dickson to the ALP’s Ali France

As the seats become finalised focus will be on the next choices for Cabinet and other portfolios which will be thrashed out in Caucus on Friday.
