It’s been a long process, and, after a recount of about 75% of the votes cast, there were only a few votes in it.

Today we did not win. But we are not defeated. Hard things are hard, and a better kind of politics is worth fighting for.
See you in 2028? Maybe!

When I said before the election that I would fight for every vote, the last month is not quite what I had in mind!

Thank you for the support from inside and outside Goldstein, and to my incredible volunteers who have been scrutineering day in, day out. 🧵

The Australian Electoral Commission has agreed to conduct a partial recount in Goldstein.

The recount will look at first preference ballot papers for myself and Tim Wilson, and all informal ballot papers.

I will be making no further comment until the process is complete.

I’ve asked the AEC whether a recount is appropriate in Goldstein. They will judge that request on its merits. Thank you again everyone for your support. ZD

The result in Goldstein is obviously close and it will be some days before the result is confirmed.

I again thank the voters of Goldstein for their support as well as the many volunteers who worked tirelessly on my campaign.

Thank you to Ian Smith, everyone’s favourite TV neighbour, Harold Bishop. Ian is voting 1 Zoe Daniel with what may be his last ever vote. I'm so grateful for his belief in me, his belief that keeping Goldstein independent is exactly what the parliament needs.

The Liberal party is preferencing One Nation ahead of every other party in almost every seat in the country. A vote for Peter Dutton is a preference for Pauline Hanson. #Goldsteinvotes #auspol

"Had enough of doing the right thing — and getting punished for it?"Everyday Australians pay their fair share — while billionaires & multinationals dodge the lot.We must change who’s in the room if we want a fair tax system. Independence works. Otherwise, it’s just more of the Same Old, Same Old.
