The battle for Grey is still up in the air, with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) currently counting postal votes.
The first preferences show incumbent Grey MP Rowan Ramsey well ahead on 44.92 per cent of the vote, followed by Labor candidate Julie Watson with 21.7 per cent.

However, the AEC's two candidate preferred count shows Ms Watson on 53.27 per cent, ahead of Mr Ramsey's 46.73 per cent.
Despite being behind in the TCP, Mr Ramsey said on Monday that he was still feeling very confident he would come out on top.
A spokesperson from the AEC said there was still a fair bit of counting to be done before a result couldbe announced.
"First preferences have been counted for all election day polling places and early voting centres," the spokesperson said.
"The two-candidate-preferred selection was reset and this fresh count is underway again today.
"There were approximately 15,000 postal vote applications in Grey with 13,000 received back so far - we'll be progressing through more postal vote counts today and in the days ahead."
Absentee, provisional, and declaration pre-poll votes are yet to be counted.
Labor was contacted for comment.
