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. 🧵

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.

“…But alas, the selfish spreading of fear and division is effective, and Taylor and his remaining Liberals are leaning in….”

This is a routine way most Australian politicians sign letters to other political figures with whom they're on collegial terms -- cross out the formal title, write their first name. Standard.
Nice diplomatic affectation to cross out the typed formal title and add his first name to show they are pals

“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/…

By me, for @THEMONTHLY
Roughly 900 days since the Murphy inquiry tabled its report, key recommendations – the introduction of an effective national regulator, banning predatory inducements such as bonus bets, and the staged ban on gambling advertising – are yet to be addressed.

AEC disclosure update: At the 2022 election 78% of the Teal reported campaign cash for Goldstein came from Sydney-based entities. In 2025 it lifted to 83%. We’ve had it confirmed by @VictorianLabor sources Issacs Labor volunteers campaigned in Teal tees in Goldstein.

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. 🩵
“Oh my god… I have no words.”
Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, shared the news with her directly before it was announced to the world.

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

It’s been a long process, and after a recount of about 75% of the votes cast, there were only a few votes in it.
Today we did not win. But we are not defeated. Hard things are hard, and a better kind of politics is worth fighting for.
See you in 2028? Maybe!

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.
