Liberal candidate Tim Wilson is on the verge of reclaiming the Goldstein seat from teal independent Zoe Daniel, thanks to a surge in postal votes.
While Labor has secured a historic landslide victory in the federal election, several key seats in Victoria, including Goldstein and Kooyong, remain too close to call. Wilson's strong performance in late counting has dramatically narrowed Daniel's lead, putting him just 95 votes behind. The outcome in these electorates could influence the final makeup of the new parliament.
The close contests highlight the ongoing battle between traditional parties and independent 'teal' challengers in urban seats.

It’s great to see Tim Wilson making a comeback in Goldstein—hopefully this signals a return to sensible, centre-right representation over the divisive politics of the teals.

Liberals slash teal lead in Kooyong and Goldstein
Liberal Tim Wilson has surged back into contention against teal Zoe Daniel and is now only 95 votes behind in the electorate of Goldstein. Mr Wilson’s comeback is powered by a strong showing in postal votes and on the current trend, the former Liberal MP, ousted in 2022, is expected to reclaim the bayside electorate.
