Labor’s stunning win on Saturday flooded election maps with a sea of red, but underneath the headline result, rivers of second and third-preference votes were pouring into Labor’s ballot box from independent and third-party voters.
As of Monday afternoon, Labor is on track to secure around 54.7 per cent of the vote on a two-party preferred basis, ahead of the Coalition’s 45.3 per cent. (Two-party preferred means the result after preferences are distributed.)
