While last week Labor's Mike Kelly claimed victory, on Monday, May 27, the Liberals' Fiona Kotvojs said it was a "low probability" she would be elected, but it remained possible.

"On the current trends it is more probable now than it was on Friday," she said.

By 3pm Monday, she held 49.29 per cent of the two-party preferred votes while Dr Kelly had 50.71 per cent and a swing of 2.22 per cent against him. About 86 per cent of the votes had been counted.

A week ago, when Dr Kelly claimed the seat, he had 50.96 per cent of the votes.

Dr Kotvojs said the postal votes and pre-polls had favoured her more so than her opposition which had led to the closing of the gap between them, and there was roughly 7500 votes to be counted as well as any postal votes that had not been recorded.

She remained philosophical about her chances, saying "whatever will be will be, and that's it".
