She now holds 50.7% of the vote, ahead of Labor's Jennifer Yang. There are now only two close seats listed on the AEC website, but the coalition is ahead in both. In Bass, the Liberals' Bridget Archer sits on 50.4% of the two-party vote, ahead of incumbent Labor MP Ross Hart. If the current count trends continue, the Liberal-National coalition will have 78 seats, with Labor on 67 and six crossbenchers.
