There will be a full recount in the Sydney seat of Bradfield, after the Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian led the independent Nicolette Boele by just eight votes at the end of the final distribution of preferences.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) immediately announced a recount, as is the longstanding practice in any seat when the final margin is 100 or fewer. The AEC said the recount would begin on Monday and might take up to two weeks.
