In early counting, both major parties have struggled in various seats, but there appears to be strong support for independents, the Greens and other minor parties

In the Sydney seat of Wentworth, independent Allegra Spender is comfortably ahead of Liberal MP on primary votes.

In Kooyong, Monique Ryan is ahead of Liberal MP and treasurer Josh Frydenberg, but counting is still early.While not yet called, here are the seats that look most likely to change hands: Counting in Peter Dutton’s Queensland seat of Dickson is only 25% complete, but he has suffered a swing of 3.22% towards Labor. It’s not clear if that will be enough for Labor to take the seat, but it may be close.

In Melbourne, Labor looks to have a swing of 4% towards it in the ultra marginal seat of Chisholm – enough to win the seat if that swing holds.
