Labor’s hopes for majority government are now pinned on three electorates after a fourth lower house seat went to the Greens.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Saturday called last weekend’s election an “outstanding result” for the party.
The major parties both received record-low primary votes, but Albanese pointed to voters in traditional blue-ribbon seats putting independents as number one.
Deakin and Macnamara in Victoria and Gilmore in NSW are the three seats that remain close.
Labor needs 76 seats to gain a majority in the lower house of federal parliament, with the party sitting on 75.
