Independent Dr Kerryn Phelps and Liberal challenger Dave Sharma are locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the second time in seven months.

Less than 24 hours ago Mr Sharma posted on Twitter that his campaign van was broken into this morning at Edgecliff Station.

Dr Phelps campaigned heavily on climate change, pledging to stop the Adani mine in central Queensland as well as other coal projects. During her time as an MP, Dr Phelps led the passage of the so-called"Medevac" bill, which allows refugees and asylum seekers in offshore detention to come to Australia for medical care.
