During the recount, that looked at informal votes and 1.2 million above-the-line ballot papers, 1375 votes which had been verified in the initial count could not be “located, rechecked or verified in the recount process”.

Meanwhile Mr Palmer has been elected in the seat of Fairfax by 53 votes in the recount there. That represents a swing of 17 votes in his favour … just between counts!
Approaching Canberra …
