That description of "practical kitchen with stainless steel appliances" is the most pathetic I've ever seen for something like this. But maybe it's likely that whoever buys it is going to knock it down and rebuild. I mean, it'd be worth it, for the sort of people that buy houses like this.

All the seats on the AEC website say "undefined" because the AEC has not declared *ANY* seat until the count is completed, which is when all postals have been received and counted. The deadline is the end of the day tomorrow (16 May) being 13 days after election day.

There's still 1380 votes to count, so it's more a wait and see, then if there's a gap of less than 100, I think the AEC will decide to do a recount.
