Liberal candidate Tim Wilson claims victory in Goldstein
- Liberal candidate Tim Wilson leads independent Zoe Daniel by over 700 votes with more than 82 percent of the Goldstein vote counted on May 6, 2025.
- Wilson aims to reclaim Goldstein after losing it to Daniel at the previous election, while Daniel celebrated victory on election night but acknowledged the result was close.
- Postal votes strongly favor Wilson, who took the lead as counting continued, prompting Daniel to state she would await further results respectfully.
- Wilson said winning would mark three Australian political firsts, including becoming the first federal MP to retake a seat lost to an independent, and celebrated by eating frozen yoghurt.
- If confirmed, Wilson's victory would be a rare Liberal gain from an independent in 110 years and show the significant impact of postal votes in close contests.
