Queensland Labor’s razor thin lead in the seat of Brisbane has been extended to 184 votes as more postal votes were processed on Wednesday.
Labor’s Madonna Jarrett, as of Tuesday afternoon, led the Greens by just 30 primary votes.
But on Wednesday afternoon that lead had been extended to a total of 184 votes.

There are still 14,203 postal votes yet to be processed.
