In early counting, within an hour of the close of polls, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's psephologist Antony Green's electoral computer had predicted Labor to retain the electorate.

The by-election occurred on the same day as four other by-elections for the House of Representatives, colloquially known as Super Saturday.
