When I said before the election that I would fight for every vote, the last month is 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. 🧵

The Australian Electoral Commission has agreed to conduct a partial recount in Goldstein. The recount will look at first preference ballot papers for myself and Tim Wilson, and all informal ballot papers. 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

Early voting has closed and tomorrow is election day. Thank you to my incredible volunteers. Tomorrow, please exercise your democratic right and go out and vote Independent.

Thank you to Ian Smith, everyone’s favourite TV neighbour, Harold Bishop. Ian is voting 1 Zoe Daniel with what may be his last ever vote. I'm so grateful for his belief in me, his belief that keeping Goldstein independent is exactly what the parliament needs.

"Had enough of doing the right thing — and getting punished for it?"Everyday Australians pay their fair share — while billionaires & multinationals dodge the lot.We must change who’s in the room if we want a fair tax system. Independence works. Otherwise, it’s just more of the Same Old, Same Old.

The activity test for childcare punished mums trying to work and set back the development of kids, mostly from low-income families. That's why I worked so hard to get it abolished. Now the Liberals want to bring it back. Early childhood education isn’t a luxury — it’s essential.

Early voting is still OPEN today until 5:30 pm. Argus St in Cheltenham is one of the places you can vote today. Vote early, on May 3, or by post. Go to aec.gov.au for locations & info. Vote 1 Zoe Daniel, then number every box to ensure your vote counts. Let’s keep Goldstein Independent.

Last week I joined the 2025 Federal Election Family Violence Forum to discuss family violence, support for First Nations women and children, sexual violence responses, accountability, and prevention. Thanks to @NoToViolence & @kristineziwica for leading this important conversation. #AusPol #Equality
