We’ll leave our live coverage here for today. This is how things stand:

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has not ruled out supporting more independent candidates in future election contests, as he has in the Upper Hunter byelection.

He told political editor Katharine Murphy:

As I said in my book, I resigned as prime minister, but I have not resigned as an Australian citizen.

I wouldn’t rule anything in or out, and I wouldn’t expect anyone else to be ruling things in or out at this point. It will depend on the issues and how parties and candidates deal with them at the time.
