Liberal candidate Tim Wilson has urged his scrutineers in Goldstein to “knock out informal votes being counted” for independent Zoe Daniel, warning her team has done so “with extreme precision” as the contest tightened this week.
Wilson was declared the projected winner of Goldstein last week, a seat he lost at the 2022 election, but the gap in votes narrowed considerably in recent hours, with the former assistant minister now leading by just 294 votes.
