Victoria has stuck with Labor, with voters turning their backs on the federal Coalition.

Liberal hopes of picking up as many as six seats from both the teals and Labor were dashed on Saturday night, with voters in fact swinging to Labor.

Liberals had targeted Aston and Chisholm but as at 9.30pm, Labor had secured a major swing.

In Aston, a seat Liberals had counted as a sure win, Labor had strengthened its grip with a 7 per cent two-party preferred swing.

In Chisholm, Labor also scored a four per cent swing in its favour.

In Kooyong, teal Monique Ryan was in front at with a three per cent swing over Liberal Amelia Hamer.

In Goldstein, Liberal candidate was also facing defeat with teal Zoe Daniel leading with a swing of more than two per cent.

Liberals hopes of securing outer suburban electorates appeared to have failed, with McEwen sticking with Labor with a swing of more than three per cent.

Liberals have faired better in Wannon, with Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan leading independent Alex Dyson, holding a winning but narrow lead on a two-party preferred basis.

Labor is in strife in Bendigo, with the Nationals scoring a swing of almost 30 per cent. In Wills, Labor is struggling against the Greens.

At 9pm, Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson was left to only say; “we will rebuild.”
