The Liberal candidate Tim Wilson has urged his scrutineers in Goldstein to “knock out informal votes being counted” for his independent rival Zoe Daniel, warning that her team has done this “with extreme precision” against him this week as the contest tightened.
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 on Thursday, with the former assistant minister now leading by just 294 votes.
