She took the largest slice of the vote in Neutral Bay East with just over 65 per cent followed by Crows Nest pre-poll and Cremorne.

Zali’s vote was strongest outside Mosman where she mostly polled over the 60 per cent mark. Inside Mosman she averaged at about 56 per cent across the seven booths.

In the last election Mr Abbott won all the lower north shore booths ahead of the Greens, with Balmoral emerging as his most successful booth in Warringah at 70.61 per cent.
