"Teal" independent Zoe Daniel has claimed victory in the once-safe Liberal stronghold of Goldstein, declaring the result demonstrates that "community can make a difference".

It is the first time a non-Liberal MP has been elected to represent the electorate

Ms Daniel is one of several so-called "teal" independents who received funding from the Climate 200 group

Incumbent MP Tim Wilson says he has faced an "unholy alliance" of forces that joined to oust him from office

With more than a third of the vote counted, the ABC projected Mr Wilson only had around 40 per cent of the vote and would not be able to win.
