Sophie Mirabella at risk of losing seat after discovery of transcription error


The independent candidate for the north-eastern Victorian electorate of Indi has received an unexpected bump in support due to a transcription error, as counting continues in the close-fought race. Now the extra votes have been included, Ms McGowan is about 1,500 votes ahead of the incumbent Liberal, Sophie Mirabella. But there are still thousands of early and postal votes left to count, meaning the result won't be declared until next week.
