Big night last night. Interesting statements from Monash candidates Deb Leonard (Ind) and Tully Fletcher (ALP). #auspol #Australiavotes

The Age had predicted a Liberal retain.

In the electorate of Monash, Labor’s Tully Fletcher has clawed back to second spot. #Auspol #Australiavotes

These numbers are from Pollbludger.net for Noojee and indicate Mary Aldred (Lib) is the favourite there.
May 3, 2025 at 10:03 AM
As The Age says, Monash is just too close to call.

Lib candidate Mary Aldred is leading primaries but the preferences are too unpredictable.

We expect preferences from Liberal-turned-Independent Russell Broadbent to go to the Libs, and ALP to Ind Deb Leonard or vice versa.

Interesting situation in electorate of Monash re projections. Most websites are set up based on a 2CP vote going between the ALP and the Liberal Party.

But, with 5% of the vote counted, Ind. Deb Leonard is trailing behind Lib. Mary Aldred.

A disgusting, false advertisement for an article with a doctored image of Senator Penny Wong on Facebook.

The ad makes it look like the article was published by Nine but is most definitely not the case.
