Federal election numbers continue growing as postal votes come in
Sky News election analyst Tom Connell provides insight into the latest numbers of the federal election results.
“The Greens still on zero confirmed, I think they will win two at least at this stage, but nothing is actually confirmed,” Mr Connell said.
“Some of these pre-poll booths are getting really big in Melbourne, 15,000 and so on, so the issue is, the bigger the booth, the longer it takes to count.
“Labor effectively have 25 [in the Senate] to start with out of the ones we know they’ll get here, if they can make up three, they get to 28, and the Greens will get 11, that would mean the Labor and the Greens pass the legislation by not talking to anyone else.
“So far, this amount, 37.5 per cent [in Senate NSW], that’s well above what they’re getting at a state house level, and the amount of voting here at the senate is about 30 per cent.
“The vote could actually drop off for Labor.”
