SEATS TOO CLOSE TO CALL
* Melbourne (Vic) - Greens leader Adam Bandt is in danger of losing his seat to Labor challenger Sarah Witty, who is leading by almost 3000 votes. A high number of postal votes are flowing to Labor over the Greens
* Kooyong (Vic) - Independent MP Monique Ryan faces a challenge from Liberal Amelia Hamer, with the teal leading 50.7 per cent to 49.3 per cent, with three-quarters of the vote counted
* Bradfield (NSW) - Just 501 votes separate independent challenger Nicolette Boele and the Liberals' Gisele Kapterian in the former safe seat for the coalition, with nearly 83 per cent of votes counted
* Bullwinkel (WA) - Barely anything splits Labor and the Liberals in the newest WA seat, with Labor's Trish Cook leading by just 85 votes over Liberal Matt Moran. Preferences from the Nationals, who are in third place, are set to decide the seat's outcome
* Goldstein (Vic) - A razor-thin margin of 95 votes separates leading independent MP Zoe Daniel and Liberal challenger Tim Wilson, with the result to come down to preferences
* Longman (Qld) - Coalition MP Terry Young is ahead of Labor's Rhiannyn Douglas by a mere 102 votes in a seat previously held by the LNP with a margin of 3.1 per cent
* Wills (Vic) - Labor MP Peter Khalil faces a challenge from Greens candidate Samantha Ratnam, with the incumbent ahead 51.6 per cent to 48.4 per cent
* Ryan (Qld) - A three-way contest has emerged in the Brisbane-based seat between Greens MP Elizabeth Watson-Brown, the coalition's Maggie Forrest and Labor's Rebecca Hack. The Greens are ahead, but the result will come down to preference flows from the party that finishes third
* Fremantle (WA) - A close battle in one of Labor's safest seats, with Labor MP Josh Wilson under threat from independent challenger Kate Hulett, who is ahead by just 196 votes
* Bean (ACT) - The Labor stronghold held by MP David Smith is being challenged by independent Jessie Price who is leading 50.1 per cent to 49.9 per cent for Smith, who previously held the seat by more than 12 per cent. Only 206 votes separate the pair.
