The Australian Electoral Commission says the seats of Brisbane and Corangamite in Victoria, which are both held by Labor, are still too close to call, as the Liberal's Ken Wyatt strengthens his hold on Hasluck.
Yesterday, the AEC only had the WA Hasluck as too close to call. A seat is too close to call if the two party preferred candidate result is between 49.5 per cent and 50.5 per cent.
With 83 per cent of the vote counted in Hasluck, Mr Wyatt is ahead of incumbent Sharryn Jackson by more than 700 votes.
Hasluck has only just moved out of the too close to call category with the Liberals at 50.51 per cent after the distribution of preferences.
Today AEC has added the seats of Brisbane and Corangamite to the list of close seats.
In Brisbane, less than 500 votes separate Labor's Arch Bevis and the LNP's Teresa Gambaro.
While in Corangamite the incumbent, Labor's Darren Cheesmen is ahead of the Liberal's Sarah Henderson by about 580 votes.
Meanwhile, Three independents in talks over minority government have released a list of seven demands to secure their support.
The list included access to the latest Treasury advice on election promise costings and the economic outlook for Australia.
They also seek briefings from key government departmental secretaries on a range of issues, from health to infrastructure, as well as talks with ministers and shadow ministers on their policy plans for the next three years.
They are seeking a written commitment to serving out the full three-year term and detail as to "how this commitment to a full term will be fulfilled, either by enabling legislation or other means".
The independents want changes to political donations, electoral funding, and truth in advertising reforms.
They want to begin formal talks by September 3.
The independents have also asked for advice on Labor and the coalition's plans for parliamentary reform, including expanding the committee system, increasing time to consider private members' business and bills, and overhauling question time and the end-of-session adjournment debate.
