Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack believes the Eden-Monaro by-election is a “close call”, saying the result probably won’t be known at the end of the day.

Polls have now closed across the seat in the southeastern corner of NSW, with a tight contest expected between Labor’s Kristy McBain and Liberal Fiona Kotvojs.
