Greens 1

Independent 4

In doubt 3

HANGING IN THE BALANCE:

* Capricornia (Nationals QLD): Sitting MP Michelle Landry leads by 670 votes, with fewer than 900 postal votes to be allocated. They're running 59-41 per cent in her favour while other early votes will break 50-50. More likely LNP retain than Labor win.

* Herbert (LNP QLD): Labor's Cathy O'Toole is hanging on to a 304-vote lead over sitting MP Ewen Jones. He's getting the postal vote flow, but she's benefiting from the absentees. Down to the wire.

* Hindmarsh (Liberal SA): Labor's Steve Georganas has solidified his lead to 606 votes, climbing from single digits in past days. Likely Labor gain than a Liberal retain.
