The Liberal Party has managed to hold the once blue-ribbon seat of Bradfield on Sydney’s north shore, with Gisele Kapterian just edging out teal Nicolette Boele after more than a week of counting. Absentee and postal votes favoured Kapterian, which pushed her ahead of Boele despite the independent being marginally ahead on election night.

In southern Sydney, David Moncrieff, the new federal Labor MP for Hughes, and Zhi Soon, now the Labor member for the neighbouring electorate of Banks, have two things in common.

The Liberals retain a wafer-thin lead in the battle for the seat of Bradfield, but the fate of candidate Gisele Kapterian will rest on whether as many as 3200 uncounted absentee votes fall her way. Kapterian leads teal candidate Nicolette Boele by just 195 votes, with counting of absentee ballots – which are votes cast outside the Bradfield electorate – to continue on Friday.

A moderate NSW Liberal MP has invoked the Nazis’ genocide of Jews in a parliamentary debate over amending the state’s abortion laws, saying it was “bizarre” that the termination of a pregnancy was categorised “as a human right to healthcare”.
