An interesting question going forward will be what standard is required of immigration officers when dealing with people who are non-citizens and who claim to be Indigenous people satisfying the test in Love (drawn from the tripartite test in Mabo).

The Greens have won Brisbane, the party's third gain in Qld, two from the LNP (Brisbane, Ryan) and one from Labor (Griffith). The Greens now have four House of Reps seats with the party still in the race for the Melbourne seat of Macnamara. #ausvotes abc.net.au/news/elections/fe…

Fatima Payman is on track to be WA’s newest Senator.
The 27-year-old came to Perth as a refugee when she was 8 after fleeing the Taliban in Afghanistan.
If she wins she will be the first Muslim woman who wears a hijab to sit in Federal parliament.

Count update:
🗳️ Counting on track, despite some COVID impacts to our staff
🗳️ Telephone and declaration votes being included from today
🗳️ Likely that some seats will be declared mid-next week
🗳️ Postals still being received
ALT It’s been almost a week since election day, and the count is progressing in centres all around the country, with the vast majority of first preferences counted and having undergone fresh scrutiny. Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said that despite some anticipated staff shortages due to COVID-19, the AEC remains on track to return the writs to the Governor-General on or before 28 June 2022. “Our motto for the count is ‘right, not rushed’,” Mr Rogers said. “The count is progressing well and it is likely that the results in some seats will start to be declared from mid-next week. This can only occur once it becomes mathematically impossible for any other candidate to win.” The AEC can receive postal votes until the close of business next Friday, 3 June.

Early voting has begun today! Fred is so excited he’s whipped out his #democracysausage dog vest. He’s waiting for election day (to get a sausage) but if you can’t make it on 21 May then there are 500+ early voting centres operating.
