ICYMI: Election legend Antony Green bids farewell to the ABC

Australia is not the only one today. Singapore has voted, too

Yes, as we closely watch the results coming out down here, 2.6 millions Singaporeans, 2 hours behind Sydney, have cast their votes in their general election today. Polls there closed at 10pm AEST (8pm SGT). 

Singapore's elections occur every five years.

Local media reports ballot boxes were handed over from election officials to the police officers at the counting centre carpark at 8:30pm AEST. The counting has since started. 

By 7pm AEST, about 82 per cent of eligible voters, or 2,164,593 Singaporeans, had cast their ballots, according to the Elections Department of Singapore.

This election is widely seen as the first major test since Lawrence Wong, the prime minister and leader of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP), took over last year from his long-serving predecessor, Lee Hsien Loong, who is now senior minister and only the third prime minister in Singapore's 60-year history.

In the midst of global uncertainty and increasing cost of living, the PAP is facing strong challenges from opposition parties in several key battlefields. Despite that, polling has projected an overwhelming victory for the ruling People's Action Party on Saturday.

Liberals to lose three shadow ministers in the House of Reps

The Coalition is set to lose three big names in the lower house — Shadow Foreign Minister David Coleman, Shadow Housing and Social Services Minister Michael Sukkar, and of course Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.

Sukkar is perhaps the least surprising of the three, given his seat of Deakin was technically on a margin of 0.0 per cent after last year's redistribution of Victoria's electorate boundaries.

His primary vote has dropped by 5.1 per cent, (with 51 per cent of the vote counted), though most of that vote appears to have gone to Climate 200-backed independent Jess Ness, who polled at 8.2 per cent, rather than Labor's Matt Gregg, who improved on his 2022 primary vote by 2.5 per cent and is set to win the seat on Green preferences.

David Coleman was sitting on a slightly more comfortable margin of 2.6 per cent — not generally considered a comfortable margin, but in an election that was expected to result in Labor losing its majority, it's fair to say he wouldn't have been expecting to lose his seat.

That seat is Banks, in southern Sydney, which Coleman has held since 2013. Labor's Zhi Soon, who unsuccessfully contested the seat at the last election, has improved his primary vote by 0.9 per cent (with 53.2 per cent counted), but it's enough to get him over the edge given Coleman's 7.3 per cent lower primary vote.

And finally, Dickson is looking like a comfortable win for the Labor Party, with Ali France almost dead even with Peter Dutton on the primary vote, but scoring a 7.8 per cent 2PP swing on the back of Green and teal preferences.

The opposition leader was never a lock to retain his suburban Brisbane seat — it was, after all, the most marginal seat in Queensland going into this election — but he'd managed to win it at every election since he entered parliament in 2001.

In fact, that was one of the things Anthony Albanese said he admired about Dutton, when asked to name one of his opponent's admirable traits during a debate.

CLP Solomon candidate concedes 'it's not looking good'

Country Liberal Party candidate for Solomon Lisa Bayliss has addressed a crowd of party faithful in Darwin, saying the results are yet to be finalised and she "remains hopeful" about the result.

Ms Bayliss conceded "it's not looking too good" nationally but maintained there were still many votes still to be counted.

"It's unlikely we'll be able to bring a result to you tonight," she said.

With Labor claiming a landslide victory nationally, Ms Bayliss said she was proud the party had managed to "buck the trend" in the Northern Territory.

Ms Bayliss said crime remained her "number one priority", acknowledging the tragic stabbing death of Nightcliff grocer Linford Feick last week.

Former CLP parliamentarian and Ms Bayliss's dad, Daryl Manzie, was in the crowd alongside Ms Bayliss's mum Moreen Manzie.

Ms Bayliss thanked her husband, calling him "the man behind the woman" and thanked her supporters and volunteers for their support.

She ran a tight race against Labor incumbent Luke Gosling who looks set to retain the seat for his fourth straight term after the ABC called it for the Labor incumbent on Saturday night.

Tony Burke makes pointed victory speech

"We stood together and we won."

A pleased Tony Burke was met with the sound of Arabic drums and a warm reception from his voters in Punchbowl, in Sydney's south-west, as the announcement of Labor's win came in.

The Labor minister has held the seat of Watson for more than two decades.

It's a pointed message at a time when some Arab and Muslim voters in his electorate and surrounding areas hoped to punish Labor over its handling of the war in Gaza.

Grassroots movement The Muslim Vote was backing independent Ziad Basyouny in Watson and Ahmed Ouf in neighbouring Blaxland — another safe Labor seat held by Jason Clare.

Labor faithful can’t quite believe it

In Maitland, NSW, some of the Labor faithful are settling in for a big night ahead.

Paterson was supposed to be at risk for Labor. Even stalwart supporters were preparing for a count that could go for days.

The nerves at the start of the night were real, with no-one willing to predict an outcome.

Instead they’ve held the seat and they cheered as they watched the ABC on big screens call plenty more for Labor.

Returned Labor MP Meryl Swanson described Peter Dutton’s defeat as “incredible and shocking”, as her supporters soaked up a Labor win on a scale none predicted.

Even the true believers are surprised at this result.

Your reactions to Labor's win

Here are some of your reactions to Labor winning the election

Steve: Australia has spoken and finally shown we are over Liberal power. Labour two in a row!

Riley: This is delicious UP THE LABOR PARTY

Stephen: I am a 50 something Liberal voter. This has been the most uninspiring campaign by both parties I have ever seen. If it wasn't for industrial relations I would have voted for an independent. Liberal base is no longer a broad church. They need to be more socially progressive and have a woman leader. Jane Hume anyone?

Jody Clark one: Wooooooohoooooooo Albo number one 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

How are things looking in the west?

The count continues across Western Australia, with polls closing two hours after most states.

Labor has retained its dominance in the west with yet another emphatic federal election result, picking up an extra seat from the depleted Liberal Party which failed to reverse its significant losses from 2022.

And teal independent Kate Chaney is predicted to retain the blue-ribbon seat of Curtin from Liberal challenger Tom White, according to the ABC election computer.

Labor has snatched the seat of Moore from the Liberals.

Tangney, an affluent electorate in Perth's south, returned former dolphin trainer Sam Lim, who increased his slim majority.

However, in some better news for the Liberals, Andrew Hastie appears to have increased his majority in Canning.

Hastie was touted as a possible future Liberal leader before the election, and the party will be searching for a new leader in earnest now that Peter Dutton has lost his seat.

The new federal seat of Bullwinkel appeared on a knife edge, with preferences late on Saturday appearing to favour the election of Liberal Matt Moran.
