00:00A return to the capital amid a brutal departure from politics.
00:07I've spoken to my colleagues and the Northern Party rebuilds from here and that's as it should be.
00:14With a party left to pick up the pieces, Peter Dutton keeping quiet on his replacement.
00:19The best model I've seen is where leaders form up, make a graceful exit from politics and maintain their graceful silence.
00:29Not the only party in search of a new leader, the ABC projecting Greens leader Adam Bandt will lose his seat of Melbourne.
00:36The end of another political career, defeated by Labor's Sarah Whitty after suffering a slump of more than 4% in his primary vote.
00:45We can't declare a position till every last vote is counted and I have everything crossed.
00:53It wasn't all commiserations today.
00:55We are genuinely very proud to say that we are pleased to accept that we have won the seat of Goldstein back.
01:02Tim Wilson claiming victory, unseating one term independent Zoe Daniel.
01:09Today the incumbent is yet to concede.
01:12Three years ago we were written off.
01:15The nearby seat of Cooyong in Melbourne and Bradfield on Sydney's North Shore still too close to call.
01:22With counting expected to continue for days, moderate Liberal Maria Kovacic certain of one thing.
01:28The message from the committee is very, very clear and that's why I believe that this nuclear policy has to go.
01:35At odds with a new Liberal colleague.
01:37In my core sense of belief, believe in the role of nuclear power not as an end but as a beginning.
01:44And a coalition partner.
01:46It wasn't a drag on our vote.
01:48The reality was that it was far deeper than nuclear energy.
01:52The political fallout from this emphatic defeat is only just beginning.
01:57And the coalition's nuclear policy appears to be the biggest point of contention.
02:02That's just one question facing the opposition's future leader.
02:06The contest for that coming down to two likely contenders.
02:10Deputy Leader Susan Lee and Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor.
