Monique Ryan projected to retain seat of Kooyong
Sky News Australia projects Teal independent Monique Ryan will hold on to the seat of Kooyong in Victoria after a count that has ebbed and flowed for a week after election night.
The Climate 200-backed MP has 50.3 per cent of the vote, leading Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer by 693 votes.
5,000 votes remain to be counted, but Sky News Chief Election Analyst Tom Connell says Ms Hamer can’t bridge the gap.
