When I said before the election that I would fight for every vote, the last month was not quite what I had in mind! Thank you for the support from inside and outside Goldstein, and to my incredible volunteers who have been scrutineering day in, day out. 🧵

Where are the promised beds? The data exposing Victoria’s mental health failures theage.com.au/national/victo… 1) Victorians will be grateful to @theage & Grant McArthur for this laser like investigative journalism on the implementation failure of @RCMentalHealth

Mental health maths doesn’t add up theage.com.au/politics/victo… Not adding up means continued suffering & preventable death across the State. If this were any other health condition communities would rise up. Look out for a major public forum in near future to give Victorians a voice.

Is it a good look for the AFL to be sponsored by Sportsbet? Excellent question.

PODCAST @JOY949 @DavidDmacca @zdaniel talk to David Gibson about a bill introduced into Parliament to address the historic treatment of LGBTI personnel in the Australian Defence Force is being welcomed as a long-overdue step toward justice. joy.org.au/saturdaymagazine/…

“…But alas, the selfish spreading of fear and division is effective, and Taylor and his remaining Liberals are leaning in….” @zdaniel on point! 🎯 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

“It’s a rort, not reform”. ⁦@MrRexPatrick⁩ and ⁦@zdaniel⁩ are taking the ALP/LNP duopoly to the High Court over political fixer Don Farrell’s Electoral Act changes which aim to defund/destroy Australia’s independents movement. @annikasmethurst 👇

Electoral laws passed by the duopoly earlier this year create an uneven playing field at elections, in their favour. They undermine your voting choice and our democracy. @zdaniel and I are challenging the laws in the High Court. #unconstitutional #auspol smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

It’s some years since I reported in Venezuela. I have thought of the country and its people so much since. This, tears. “I hope you understand this is a movement…” A huge moment for women’s leadership. 🩵

Today, Tim Wilson has been officially declared as the Member for Goldstein. I wish him the best, trusting that he serves our community with integrity and effectiveness. I’m deeply proud of our honest, hopeful campaign. To our incredible volunteers: you are the heart of this movement. You’ve shown that politics can be done differently. This time, Independence didn’t win.
But tomorrow, it will. Because the future is still ours to shape—and you are its rock. With deep gratitude, Zoe

The Australian Electoral Commission has agreed to conduct a partial recount in Goldstein. I will be making no further comment until the process is complete.

The result in Goldstein is obviously close and it will be some days before the result is confirmed. I again thank the voters of Goldstein for their support as well as the many volunteers who worked tirelessly on my campaign. Zoe Daniel MP

Today we vote. And we remember what we’ve built—honest, community-powered, brave. If you’ve had enough of the excuses, vote 1 Zoe Daniel. Let’s keep Goldstein independent. Let’s finish what we started—together. #Goldsteinvotes
