Multiple seats remain still too close to call, with the Greens facing the extraordinary possibility of being left with zero members in the House of Representatives.

Meanwhile the so-called teal independents have suffered a number of surprise losses with a former MP back in parliament.

And in WA’s newly formed seat of Bullwinkle, just 172 votes separate Labor and Liberal candidates.

Tens of thousands of postal and declaration votes are still being counted.

In some close races the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has now moved to a three-candidate preferred (3CP) count, which can happen in seats where it is a tight three-way contest or where it is just difficult to predict who will be second or third.

Labor’s convincing win has so far netted the party 91 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives, including Peter Dutton’s seat of Dickson.

The Coalition has secured just 40 seats.

As of Thursday afternoon, the seats still in doubt were Labor-held Bean in the ACT, Bendigo in Victoria, the newly created, notionally Labor WA seat of Bullwinkel, the Liberals’ Bradfield in north Sydney, Flinders and Calwell, the LNP’s Longman in Queensland, Teal-held Kooyong in Melbourne, and Liberal-turned-independent Russell Broadbent’s Victorian seat of Monash.
