00:00Optimism from the outset, with high hopes of a green slide.
00:07But as the night dragged on, reality came sliding down.
00:13The party failed to expand its reach.
00:15There may well be a number of seats that are too close to call.
00:18Or even hold ground.
00:20There's no such thing as a safe seat anymore.
00:21You know, the 2022 election showed that.
00:23We feel like it's going to be really close.
00:24It's going to be really tight.
00:25Losses in two of three Queensland seats picked up at the last election.
00:29The inner city seats of Griffith and Brisbane.
00:32We may see the situation where some Labor MPs get elected on Liberal preferences.
00:37With the contest too close to call in Ryan.
00:40And in the leader's own electorate of Melbourne.
00:42In some of our seats, in Queensland of course,
00:45we're going to have to say goodbye to a couple of our colleagues
00:49because the Liberal vote was down so low.
00:52Adam Bandt was banking on a hung parliament to increase his party's influence.
00:57But in a game that's all about numbers, the Labor landslide and clear majority
01:02has hollowed out his heft in the House of Representatives.
01:06Having partly hung his campaign on Peter Dutton's leadership,
01:09now his own may be called into question.
01:12Adam has been an incredible leader for the Greens.
01:16Those celebrations for the Teals.
01:20I think we made the right choice.
01:22Good on you, McKellar.
01:23Cooyong's climate.
01:24I still change.
01:25Independence overall cementing their positions across Sydney,
01:31from Wentworth to McKellar in the eastern suburbs and Fowler further west.
01:36Monique Ryan has secured Cooyong and incumbent Helen Haynes retains Indy.
01:41Over in the west, Kate Cheney has held on to Curtin, while Andrew Wilkie returns.
01:46National turned independent Andrew Gee retained Calair.
01:50There are a number of seats still in doubt, including Bradfield, Bean and Goldstein.
01:55God bless you.
01:56Bob Catter easily returned.
01:59While the Nationals will likely hold on to all its seats,
02:02it may lose one in the Senate.
02:04The result is still sinking in for the party's leader.
02:07We should be proud about the way that we have run our campaign.
02:10The Nationals have run a flawless campaign.
02:14Counting their losses and taking the wins.
